Options when renaming analytics

When you rename analytics using the script editor, the result depends on whether you change the analytic name, the analytic script name, or both. The analytic name appears in the analytic header at the top of the analytic script (//ANALYTIC <analytic name>), and in the Server Explorer treeview. The analytic script name appears in the script editor’s Project Explorer, and on the Scripts tab in the Properties view.
