Renaming an object

As part of organizing your folders and other objects, you can rename folders, reports, documents, and other objects. When you rename an object, the object's version ID changes to reflect the new name.

Note: If you are translating an object's name, this rename feature is not the correct method to use. To provide a translation for an object's name, in MicroStrategy Desktop, right-click the object and select Translate. Click Help in the resulting interface for detailed help to translate the object and for links to additional help on setting up internationalization across your MicroStrategy environment. If you use this rename feature to provide a translated object name, you may cause object version ID inconsistencies in the system.

Prerequisites

To rename an object

  2. Right-click the object and select Rename. A field with the object's name is displayed.
