	Naming Nodes

Each node must have a unique name within the project. Dialog Designer assigns a generic name automatically when a node is placed in the workspace. To assign a name, click the node name line in the node symbol and type the desired name. Alternately, select a node and then change the name in the Properties view Name field.

CAUTION:

Do not use double-byte or extended ASCII characters when naming nodes.

Note:

Node names must follow Java naming conventions (see Naming Java Components).

Tip:

Avaya recommends that you assign a name that communicates the central purpose or function of the node.

When a node is named and a project is saved, Dialog Designer automatically names the Java class associated with that node the same name as the node. If later the node is renamed, Dialog Designer again changes the name of the associated Java class, as long as the call flow is also saved at the same time.

Note:

Be sure to also save the call flow when changing a node name, or the Java class can get out of sync with the rest of the application.
