Properties of a connected object
To rename the connected objects, they must be localized on the map.
To do this, go to the Connected objects on selected drawing tab, of the bottom menu of the Create phasing window, and use the visibility checkmarks to locate your connected object. Click on Edit to open the properties window.
Here we rename the polyline located at the top to “Traffic North lane Phase 5”:
