Renaming Targets

By default, when you create a new project using one of Flare's factory templates, one new target is added to your project—depending on the format that you selected for your primary target.

It is usually helpful to rename the targets that you use to reflect the nature of your project (especially if you are using multiple targets with the same output type).

example

If you are using DotNet Help to produce a Help system for a software application called DoohickeyPro, you might want to rename the target "DoohickeyPro." If you are creating a beginner's version and an advanced version of your Help system, you might want to name one target "Beginner DoohickeyPro" and the other target "Advanced DoohickeyPro." That would be much easier than trying to distinguish between targets called "MyDotNetHelp" and "Copy of MyDotNetHelp."

How to rename a target

Make sure the Project Organizer is open. By default, the Project Organizer is located on the left side of the interface in an accordion structure with the Content Explorer, unless you have previously moved it and saved the new layout. You may have to click the Project Organizer bar to bring it into view.
Double-click the Targets folder.

The available targets are shown.
Click on the target that you want to rename.
Press F2.

The name in the target is highlighted.
Type a new name for the target and press Enter on your keyboard.

The target is renamed.

If you are going to produce just one output, move on to one of the other basic steps for developing a project.

If you are going to produce more than one output, move on to creating condition tags.
