Renaming Entities and Data Elements

You can rename entities and data elements and update all references to the new name.

To rename entities and data elements:

1. Select an entity from a Design Studio view or a data element from an editor data tree or from a Design Studio view.

   See "Design Studio Common Editor Tabs" for more information about editor data tree areas.

2. Right-click and select Refactoring, and then select Rename.

   The Refactoring dialog box appears.

3. In the Name field, enter a new name for the data element.

4. Click Next.

   Design Studio displays a list of all the changes to be performed.

5. Deselect any changes to be performed to exclude specific instances from the refactoring.

   Note:

   Deselecting elements that are referenced can cause model integrity violations.

6. Click Finish.

7. Design Studio updates the data element name for all selected references.
