Names of cloud phones being editable

Naming rules:

The system automatically adds a hyphen followed by a one-digit incremental number to the end of each server name. For the names of the cloud phones that are virtualized from the server, the system automatically adds a 5-digit numerical suffix in ascending order. For example, if you enter cloudphone, the first server's name will be cloudphone-1, and the name of the first cloud phone on this server will be cloudphone-1-00001.

If this automatic naming method cannot meet your requirements, you can change the cloud phone name at any time.
