# Batch type name and description

> Set a name and optional description for a batch type when creating or editing it.

Every batch type has a **name** (required) and a **description** (optional).

You can set or edit both:

* When creating a batch type with the [Batch Type Wizard](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/interface/batch-type-wizard).
* Later, on the **General** tab of the [Batch Type Properties](/vantage/documentation/scanning-station/interface/batch-type-properties-dbox) dialog box.
