Domain ID editor

Change Prefix

 

Change the prefix of all currently prefixed items in this ID domain.

Dialog box options:

Prefix:

Change the existing prefix of IDs in this domain into another prefix.
The colon character : may not be used in a prefix.
You are not allowed to specify an empty prefix.

The new prefix will be applied to all IDs in the domain that had the old prefix.

A prefix appears 'integrated' with the 'Name' of IDs; IDs will be proceeded by the new prefix as in My Prefix 1, My Prefix 2, etc.

This is visible when pressing the left mouse button (Info) in a map window; in record names of attribute tables that use this domain; and in legends. When enclosed in double quotes, you can use the combination of a prefix and an ID in calculations.
