Helpful Hint: Naming

Occasionally, the “official” Recipe name may not be that which you want to display. In that case, you can add what we call a Common Name to the Recipe and use that instead.

  1. Open the Recipe
  2. Click Edit Recipe.
  3. Type a name into the Common Name field. 
  4. Click OK. 
  5. To display by Common Name
  6. Go to Home > Preferences.
  7. Under Display, check Show Common Name.
