Rename a source

Source names are used when adding sources to channels, therefore it is important that you know the name of
the source you wish to use. If a channel has only one source, the channel name will by default be the same as
its source name and will update automatically when the source name changes.

Sometimes it's helpful to configure the source name to match the data it's capturing so it's clear what the
channel is capturing too. Alternately you can change the channel's name. See

Rename a channel

.

To change a source name:

 1. Connect to the admin interface using your preferred connection mechanism. See
