Name graphic objects

Objects (and groups of objects) are automatically given a name and number when you create them, for example NumericInputEnable4. If desired, you can assign a more meaningful name to the object, for example Conveyor_speed_input.
The object name appears in the status bar, diagnostics bar, Property Panel, and Object Explorer in
FactoryTalk View Studio
, and in diagnostics log messages at runtime.
The name must start with a letter, and cannot contain spaces. You can use the underscore character (_).

  1. Select the object.

    Property Panel
    , click the
    Properties
