Easy way to find control name, component name and name of Snapshot Bank

Update:

Since the version 1.1.0.0, name of a Snapshot Bank is needed when function block FB_QRC_Snapshot is used. Name of a Snapshot bank can be found and configured at the snapshot pane or the snapshot property window.

In contest to the TwinCAT program, it is also possible to instantiate controls and components without naming in Q-SYS Designer. However, control's names and component's names are the key to remote control. Each control or component cannot be accessed or controlled without a unique name. It is important to check whether each target control or component has a valid name or not before operation.

Therefore:

For controls, the best way is to check whether its name has already been placed in the “Named Control” pane or not.
For components, the easiest way is to check the font style on this component. Its font style is normal, means this component is not named yet. A named component’s text is in italic style.

Here is an example for component:

At the right side, the font of text “Delay Center” is in italic style. The type of this control is "Standard Delay" and its name of is "Delay Center". It has a valid name.
