You may decide to rename an entry. Perhaps the current name for an analysis is confusing or the purpose of a report changed.

When you rename an entry, the ID stays the same. However, the search path changes. References to the entry from other entries are not broken. Shortcuts to the entry no longer work.

For example, a package has reports, agents, and drill-throughs definitions associated with it. When you rename the package, the references in the associated reports, agents, and drill through definition are not broken.

You cannot rename an entry to the same name as another entry that already exists in the same location.

You must have read permissions for the entry you are attempting to rename. You must also have write and traverse permissions for the current folder and for the target folder.
