Rename a script

Contents[Hide]

1. Overview

When you add a script action to a data visualization, the script is automatically named script 1, script 2, and so on. This article shows you how to rename these script actions to something more descriptive using the Layers window.

Tip
You can also rename other actions such as change layer in a similar way.

2. Add a script

For this example, first add a chart visualization to your dashboard.

Go to Properties and add a script for the chart's Click event.

Go to the Layers window and click the layer containing the chart.

Click the plus sign to see the list of elements within the layer.
