VCF Operations

Issue/Introduction

We have used VCF Operations for networks to define all our applications using primarily VM tagging but when they are imported into VCF Operations itself from the integration, the adapter prefixes all the Business Apps with 'Operations for Networks -'  which make much less useful especially for dashboarding.  I need the ability to shorten/edit/reformat these names so that the objects are useful to VCF Ops users whom are not VMware Admins that would like to know what is going on with these. 

Is it possible to rename these objects?

Environment

VCF Operations 9.x
VCF Operations for Networks 9.x

Resolution

There is no out of the box/supported way to change the names in VCF Operations in relation to objects imported from the VCF Operations for Networks integration.  This is the expected behavior. 

Additional Information

A feature request has been filed requesting the ability to change these names.  Vote on this if you are interested in this feature request: VCF Ops - Change 'Operations for Networks Application' object names.
