Change the Name of a Field

You can easily rename a field at any time.

Tip: If you just want a different label to appear in a report, change the column heading. To do so, click the column heading and select Set Column Properties. Within the Column heading override box, type in the name that you want to display at the top of the column. This name will appear above the column in this view only. The field name remains the same.

1. In the table bar on any application page, click the table containing the field you want to change.

2. Within the menu that appears, select Customize --tablename-- table > Fields.

3. Click the name of the field you want to edit.

   The field's properties page displays.

4. In the Label text box, edit the name, and then click Save.
