How to check name of vCloud Director VM in vSphere?

As i was in the situation where i have to check the vCloud Director VM name in vSphere but when i connected with vSphere Web Client there were many VMs with the same name with different IDs. So how one can check this vCD VM name in vSphere

1. Access your Organization
2. Click on My Cloud
3. Open the vApp
4. Go to the VM Properties > General Tab
5. Then scroll down to last and there is value called "Name in vSphere"
