Change node label from id to name

Very new to Cypher and Neo4j so please excuse my ignorance and misuse of terms. I am looking to change the label of a node from the ID to the property name (see image below). I used the following code to load the data from CSV. 

load csv with headers from "file:///Goal.csv" as row
create (g:Goal) set g.name = row.goalName

Is there a way to change the label from the ID to the name property? I have tried the solution in the link below but it did not provide what I am looking for. Ultimately I would like the node to show the name information (i.e. reduce fuel, green, etc.)

You mean just in the Neo4j Browser visualisation, for the nodes to show the contents of the name property instead of the node ID? – Pablissimo
you could give this a little read neo4j.com/developer/neo4j-browser scroll down to "Styling Neo4j Browser Visualization" – Dave Bennett
Yes I would like to change the caption in the Browser visualization. I have looked at the styling as recommended, but am not setting where I can make the change. Is this something that can be done on import? – Ryan Garnett

Dave Bennett's comment's right - the docs will help show all the visualisation customisations you can do but for this specific case:

  • Click the node label above the graph visualisation you want to change - they're colour-coded
  • Choose a new caption field underneath the graph

In this graph, let's change the caption of the yellow 'Location' nodes:
