Rename an Object

Use the Encyclopedia Client to rename an object quickly in a model directly from the encyclopedia without checking out and checking in a model or subset.

You must have authorization for the model in which the object resides.

Migration automatically renames objects. Rename an object to change the automatically assigned name to more meaningful name.

Note: For more information, see the Client Server Encyclopedia Version User Control Guide.

Follow these steps:

Log on to the encyclopedia through the Encyclopedia Client.
Open the model to which the object to rename belongs.
In the Encyclopedia Model Selection window, select Actions, Rename Objects.
Select an object type from the Rename Object List.
Select the occurrence of the object type you want to rename and press Rename.
Use the online help to identify each occurrence of the object type to rename, and to guide you through the steps to rename a specific object occurrence.
The object selection list shows only objects in the model that you can rename.

An object can have one to four properties. When you rename an object with more than one property, rename every property.

The Current field lists the new name when the rename is successful.
