Display common name when hovering

(OP)
As a new hire and dealing for the first time with huge assemblies, I was wondering if there was a setting that could make Pro-E display a common name parameter instead of a part numbers. This would make is a lot easier for me to get familiar with the product and its compoments. For example, if the company's part numbers is 123456 but the part itself is ... lets say a generator, can I make pro-e display the GENERATOR as I hover over an assembly instead of just the part number 123456? Thanks in advanced~!!

You can add a "description" or "title" parameter column in your model tree, if the components have this parameter.
