Insight Collection Name Display Characteristics
Collection names in the Insight Java Client are derived from several locations. If you make changes to one location, you may see inconsistencies in other locations. In the examples that follow, only the User Manager collection name was changed.
This sample collection was created with the name "Original Name" in Insight Studio. The name was then adjusted to "User Manager Name" on the User Manager of the Administrator Tools. Below are the changes that occurred.
When logging into Insight, Inscribe or Insight Studio the name of the collection comes from the User Manager:
Once logged in, you will see the collection name in several places
The User Manager collection name will display in:
- The title bar
- The collection value in the data display
The original collection name ("Original Name") shows up in two other areas:
- The main collection Group (derived from the Media Group name)
- The standard name in the data display (derived from the Field Standards)
There is also one more area that the User Manager collection name will display in;
