Changing the default Node label when viewing a graph from Browser

Question

When you add a Node to Neo4j and you access your graph via the Neo4j Browser, the Node that was created is displayed (as a circle) and the Name property is outputted as the primary property for the Node. You can tell which Nodes are which by the name field, without having to click on them. If you do not specify a Name property, the node is just a blank circle.

I'm wondering if there is a way to specify the default "label" when visually viewing a graph via the Browser, so that I don't have to use the "name" property in order to know which Nodes are which?

Answer 1

This is quite simple to achieve.

• At the top you see the Label of the node (Type of node), for example :User.
• At the bottom of that panel, you should be able to see the Label (User) along with color and size options.
• At the right corner there should be an arrow "<"
• Click this to expand your options
• There should be an option to select the caption, which is the property you want to display by default instead of name.
