I want to create an element or view with the same name for management.
Is there a way to allow Surveyor to allow duplicate names?
Hi,
You can create an element and a view with the same name. You can't create multiple elements or multiple views with the same name. They have to be unique so they can be identified in flat lists.
I suggest to add a prefix or suffix to the name, for example "MyDevice - Management" and "MyDevice - Polling".
