Objects You Can Rename

When you rename an object, you rename the object's property name. Some objects, such as Batch Job step, have more than one name property. The rename dialog for an object has the correct number of new name fields for the object type. You rename all the property names for an object.

In some cases, renaming an object automatically renames related objects. For example, renaming a process renames the associated action block.

This lists objects selectable for renaming, the property fields names that are renamed, and related objects renamed.
