Once an object has been created, it should be named so that it can be identified in reports, lists, etc. Object names should be entered into the abbreviation field for each object (this is the field used most frequently to identify objects within the eXpress software). Objects can be renamed by modifying this abbreviation. Object abbreviations can be edited using the Details panel, the "Quick-Labeling" technique, or in Grid View.
