Changing the Name of Widgets

You can change the name of each widget.

Context

When you add widgets to the main canvas, the system automatically creates names for the widgets that are displayed in the Outline. The name of a widget is important if you write scripts that refer to or address it. You can change the default widget name and adjust it to your needs in the Anaytics Designer Properties area of the Styling tool. The change will also be reflected in the Outline/Layoutand anywhere you use the widget.

Procedure

  1. Insert a widget to the canvas or popups area in the Layout by clicking (Table), (Chart) or by clicking the (Add) button in the toolbar.

    The widget is displayed on the main canvas and its default name is shown in the Outline view.

    Note

    You can move a widget up and down within the Layout view via dragging and dropping. The widget listed higher will take precedence over the ones below when displayed in the Canvas or Popups area.

  2. Click Designer to open the Builder and Styling panel.
  3. Click (Styling) to change the name.
  4. Change the name in the Analytics Designer Properties area.

    The new name is updated and displayed in the Layout.
