Rename a locator
If the name of a locator is no longer suitable, you can rename it. The best practice is to include a locator method
abbreviation as well as a short description in the locator name. For example,
"FL_StartDate" is a Format Locator that extracts the starting date from a document. You can change the name of a locator
by following
these steps:
-
Expand the
Project Tree and select the class that contains the locator.
-
Optionally,
view the class contents if they are not
already displayed.
The hidden
class contents are displayed.
-
Select the locator to be renamed in the
Project Tree.
-
On the
Design tab, in the
Edit group, click
Rename
, type a new name and press
Enter.
Locator names need to be unique for a class. If you type a name that already exists for another locator, a message
is displayed.
The locator name is updated in the
Project Tree.
