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?

For graphs with 100 or fewer nodes, MATLAB® automatically labels the nodes using the numeric node indices or node names (larger graphs omit these labels by default). However, you can change the node labels by adjusting the NodeLabel property of the GraphPlot object P or by using the labelnode function.
To set the caption, first click on the node label whose caption you want to change (located at the top of your visualization). This will show display options at the bottom of the visualization, such as color, size, and caption, where the caption options are the properties of nodes of that label.
Neo4j recently introduced the concept of labels and their sidekick, schema indexes. Labels are a way of attaching one or more simple types to nodes (and relationships), while schema indexes allow to automatically index labelled nodes by one or more of their properties.
This is quite simple to achieve.
