Rename contained objects

Before you rename a contained name of an object, make sure that the object is not checked out to another user or currently deployed.

The new contained name must comply with naming restrictions. Template names can be up to 32 alphanumeric or special characters, including the required $ as the first character. The second character cannot be $ and the name must include at least one letter. You cannot use spaces.

Contained names also cannot be the same contained name as an existing contained object within the same level of hierarchy in the containment relationship.

WARNING! Be careful when renaming contained objects. References from other objects to the object being renamed are not automatically updated with the new name. You must update the references. Objects with broken references receive bad quality data at runtime.

To rename an object’s contained name

1. Select the object in an Application view.

2. On the Home ribbon, in the Edit area, select Contained Name.

3. Type a new contained name.

   All IDEs connected to the Galaxy show the object’s new contained name.
