Custom name for a column/header

Sabine Kooman-Oracle

Organization Name (Required - If you are an Oracle Partner, please provide the organization you are logging the idea on behalf of):

Oracle

Description (Required):

For any type of visualization that shows the name of the column (as a header of a column in a table for example), be able to give it a custom name. For example the official name of a column in a Subject Area can be "Customer Global Unique Identifier" but in my report I prefer to name this "Customer ID"

Use Case and Business Need (Required):

Increase look and feel of the report. Now the way to do this is to create a calculation with my own name that only selects the original column. More work and maintenance than if we can just customize the header/name to show.

Enhancement Request / Service Request:

Ah, you're right, Nina - I did search for this but failed to find the idea you submitted earlier.

This one can be closed then, it's a double entry, let's proceed with (and prioritize!) the one Nina created: https://community.oracle.com/customerconnect/discussion/580477/renaming-columns-attributes-measures-in-dv#latest
