Modifying the name of a template component or object

The name of a component or object is a critical identifier in Template Editor.

For example, the names of value fields are used when referencing them in formulas or rules. So if you modify the name of a value field after you have used it in formulas or rules, you must also change the name in those formulas and rules. Template Editor does not update formulas or rules with the new name.

To modify the name of a template component or object:

  1. Select and double-click the component or object to open the properties dialog box.
  2. In the Name field type in a new name for the component or object.
  3. Click OK.

The name you give does not appear during output, but does appear in the Content Browser.
