Interactive Reporting Studio enables you to rename sections, but it can cause problems with reports or other sections, and the JavaScript code that references the sections by name.
If a section used in report tables is renamed, the report displays Script(x):uncaught exception
If an embedded section, that is set to Hyperlink is renamed, the code behind the embedded control no longer works because it still references the original name (If the JavaScript references sections by name, the code displays an identical problem)
When the utility renames a section it repairs all references to the original name, including references from report tables and in JavaScript of the form “original-section-name”, which must include the quotation marks.
Processing of scripts catches most code that references the section. The utility also fixes references to the original section name in dashboards created with Dashboard Studio, including embedded target information and navigation controls.
Note:
Filter Aliases are recognized in the Optimize Utility when a section is renamed.
