Renaming Items

You can give an item a new item ID, such as one generated by your ERP system.

  1. Right-click an item and select Rename.
  2. Type the new Item ID and press Enter.

    Item IDs must be unique.

To change an item Name, edit the data card property that your administrator selected as the item display name (Description by default).
