Name

All flow elements (including connections) offer at least one property: the name of the flow element as displayed in the canvas. When you add a new flow element, Switch provides it with a default name inspired by the flow element type. By default a connection does not contain a name.

You can edit the Name property in the Properties pane, just like other properties. However you can also edit the flow element name directly on the canvas as shown here:



To edit the name of a flow element directly on the canvas, perform the following steps:


  1. Select the flow element on the canvas (ensure only one flow element is selected)
  2. Click the flow element name on the canvas
  3. Enter the new name or adjust the existing name.
