You can change the display name of a visual in the pbiviz.json file. The displayName property changes what is see by uses when they hover over your visual in the Visualizations list.

{
  "visual": {
    "name": "snazzyTable",
    "displayName": "Snazzy Table",    "guid": "PBI_CV_B9C6C6C7_9583_4BF9_B2E0_9CE157681851",
    "visualClassName": "SnazzyTable",
    "version": "1.0.0",
    "description": "",
    "supportUrl": "",
    "gitHubUrl": ""
  }

Is this what you are after?

Ted is right... If for any reason you needed to bring any changes the custom visual name, displayName or even visual class name , that would be done in pbiviz.json file of your project

{
    "visual": {
        "name": "CustomVisual", // internal visual name (should not contain spaces)
        "displayName": "Custom Visual!", // visual name displayed to user (used in gallery)
        "guid": "PBI_CV_xxxxxxx", // a unique id for this visual MUST BE UNIQUE
        "visualClassName": "Custom" // the entry class for your visual. (By default Visual: visual.ts)
        "version": "1.0.0", // visual version. Should be semantic version (increment if you update the visual)
        "description": "", // description used in gallery
        "supportUrl": "", // url to where users can get support for this visual
        "gitHubUrl": "" // url to the source in github (if applicable)
    },

Thanks,

Its working if we change GUID.

I have change name and displayName but it is not working but when you change GUID starting text then and then it is working.

e.g.

If GUID is Part1010101010 then visual name display after hover over as "Part"

If GUID is Chart1010101010 then visual name display after hover over as "Chart".

So what ever text only in guid it will display as visual name.
