# Repository properties
Display name: The display name is used in different places. For example, as the name of the top repository level. Similarly, it is used as the name of the main tile for the Repository work area in the clients.
Please note
Altering the display name does not change the actual name of the repository.
Information
Changes to the display name do not take effect until you restart the client.
With the default settings, the name of the repository that was assigned in the setup is used.
Please note
The repository ID (previously: repository name) is not set via the Display name. These settings are made in the ELO Replication module.
