You can quickly set a display name for a component.
Prerequisites: Station opened in
Workbench.
Set the display name for a component in the Nav tree or in a property sheet
Perform the following steps:
- In the Nav tree, expand the station’s Config node to find the component, or locate the component in a property sheet.
- Right-click the component, and select Set Display Name from the popup menu.
- In the Set new Display Name popup dialog, type the desired name to display for the component, and click OK.
The display name is added to the parent container’s
displayNames slot. When the property sheet or Nav tree is refreshed, the component should now display with the name you entered.
NOTE: Unless the parent container’s displayNames slot was originally added using the Batch Editor, this slot may have config flags set as “rho” (Readonly, Hidden, Operator). If you want to use the Batch Editor to make future changes, you need to clear the “Readonly” config flag from this slot. If needed, you can do this from the
slot sheet or by using the Batch Editor.
