Rename an asset

Renaming an asset only affects the way its name is shown in FactoryTalk AssetCentre.
To rename an asset you must have
Switch to Design mode
permission.

  2. Select the asset you want to rename and click
    Edit >
    Rename
     or press
    F2
    .
  3. Type the new name and press
    Enter
    .
    Asset names can be a maximum of 260 characters. The characters \ / : * ? " < > | are not allowed. The character pair &# is not allowed. A space, tab, underscore (_) or dollar sign ($) cannot be the first character in a name, but can be used elsewhere in the name. The following Microsoft Windows device names cannot be used as asset names, whether upper or lower case, with or without the colon: CON:, PRN:, AUX:, NUL:, COM1:, COM2:, COM3:, COM4:, COM5:, COM6:, COM7:, COM8:, COM9:, LPT1:, LPT2:, LPT3:, LPT4:, LPT5:, LPT6:, LPT7:, LPT8:, and LPT9. For example,
    Auxiliary Line
     would be a valid name whereas
    Aux Line
     would not.
When you rename an asset, all schedules including that asset reflect the new name as well.
