The Polyline Style Properties dialogue is used to specify the settings used to stroke a polyline feature.
Name: The style name is set by default. When a layer has a single style, the name of the style is the name of the layer. When a layer has multiple styles, the name of each style is the feature's value used as a category.
Legend: Sets the name that will be displayed in the layer control and the legend panel of the published map.
