You cannot change the names of resources and organizations attached to enterprise resources from the Define Resources dialog box.

When you work with attached resources, always ensure that the repository that contains the enterprise resources you want to work with is open in the Repository window, and that documents containing attached resources are checked out of the repository.

On the Model toolbar, click the tool or, on the Model menu, choose Resources.

The Define Resources dialog box appears.
