Enable or disable identical asset names

By default, the Identical asset names per domain feature is enabled to ensure clarity and avoid confusion when searching for or referencing assets. This practice helps maintain data quality and prevents ambiguity, especially in large and complex data environments. From a technical standpoint, it ensures that the full names and display names of assets are in synchronization.

In cases where you need to use a different naming convention or require different assets to have the same display name, you can enable the Identical Asset Names Per Domain feature by asset type.

Prerequisites

You have a global role that has the Product Rights > System administration global permission.

Steps

  1. Open the asset type.
  2. Click Edit.
    The Edit <asset type> dialog box appears.
  3. Select or clear the Allow identical asset names per domain checkbox, and then click Save.
