Summary
This dialog allows designers to change the naming scheme for one or more components in the Component Library Editor.
Access
From the Component Library Editor, select one or more components from the bottom table in the workspace, right-click and choose Operations » Rename Component(s) from the context menu.
Options/Controls
- Initial Index - Use this field to specify the base level Item – the starting point of the assigned Item ID range. If existing Items in the target vault already use the chosen Item Naming scheme, you can leave this index as 0, as the next available index in the scheme will automatically be used.
- Naming Scheme - By default, the dialog will show the component naming scheme used in the Document Options dialog. Keep it, or enter a new one here by typing in the text field.
