Gets and sets the system constant's name.

Applies To

Description

Gets and sets the system constant's name. This value can be set using the SystemConstant object. However, it is probably best that you leave this system constant name as is if you ever use the .SelectByName() method of retrieving your system constants.

Note: Technical Solutions recommends retrieving your system constants in scripting using the .SelectByName() as the co_id values may be different on different instances of the system and this avoids issues with copying and pasting the scripts.
