On the Enter Tag Number dialog, do one of the following:

If needed, on the Tag Number Properties dialog, change the instrument type of the tag you want to rename.

If you want to update the numbers of the documents associated with the current instrument tag (specification, process data, calculation, and dimensional data sheets), select the Update document numbers check box.
Make sure that the document number naming conventions includes instrument naming
convention segments the current tag contains. The software does not update document
numbers for which the default naming convention is used. Suppose you want to rename
a tag number FT-100 to FT-101 and the source tag has a spec FT-100-SP. After renaming, the default document number of the renamed instrument specification
remains as FT-100-SP, even though this number contains the 100 segment, which was renamed for the instrument.

-
If you have connected several CS tags to the current tag number, the system automatically assigns the same new name to all the CS tags. You must rename the new CS tags manually to make the names unique.
-
Before selecting OK, note that all the wiring items that were associated with the old CS tag will be renamed according to the new control system tag name, and the associated specification will be deleted. Verify whether the appropriate loop blocks and hook-ups are associated with the new tag number.
-
Make sure that the new name complies with the naming conventions for the current <unit>. Naming conventions do not apply to tags classed as electrical. For more details, see Instrument Tag Naming Convention.
