Any way to label clips in X3 Studio?

Hi All,
 
I am relatively new to Sonar, having used another DAW for a long time (too long). Anyway, I am using Sonar to edit interviews and assemble them into podcasts. In my old system, I could split an audio track and then label each track as I pleased. The name that I assigned the clip would be right there on the clip inside the navigator pane (I fear I'm using the wrong terms.).
 
In this case, I'd like to label a section of speech with the beginning of the what the person said, so that I can see what each clip is and then move pieces around. I haven't found a good way to do this and searches for naming clips and labeling clips have come up empty. 
 
At this point, I have used markers in the timeline to describe what the interviewee is saying, but that only works until I move a clip, then there is a lot of erasing and relabeling that is quite cumbersome. Any advice would be quite welcome! 
 
Thanks,
Mason

This is the wrong forum for X series SONAR questions, this forum is for older versions of SONAR. A better place for this would be the forum above this one.
 
To rename a clip in the X series, select the clip, click on the Clip tab in the Inspector and change the "Clip Name". Here is what the Clip Properties looks like in the Inspector (from http://www.cakewalk.com/D...;Req=Inspectors.5.html):

Sorry about the forum misplacement. I went with SONAR...Studio covering me for SONAR X3 Studio. My fault.
 
And thank you so much! I never looked over there in the inspector. That is fantastic! I'm actually even more excited about this than I can express here.

PS - If there's a way to move the post, I'm happy to.

Don't worry about it. Unless moved by a mod (which rarely happens), posts stay where originated. It is no big deal. There are quite a few X series here. The X Series forum is more active so replies tend to be faster and at times more accurate.
