Name

The Name attribute contains a freely definable user-friendly Name for the object that is independent of the Item Reference or the location of the object in the physical network. The Name is used as the label in the All Items navigation tree. The Name is shown in alarm reports, the event and audit viewers, and in summaries. The Name does not need to be unique to the site.

The Name defaults to the object identifier you used during manual object creation, but can be edited later. For integrated BACnet objects, the name defaults to the BACnet Object Name in the remote BACnet device. For integrated N1 network objects, the name defaults to the System.Object Name in the NCM.

Example: ConferenceCenter-Room2-LightingSchedule

The Name attribute allows up to 400 characters, but 40 or less is best for the display layout.

Name is a common object attribute; for more information, see Common Object Attributes.

The Description attribute allows up to 40 characters before Release 8.0 and up to 64 characters at Release 8.0 and later, but is not required.
