Change Column Label on Database View

Stan Martin

I've created a Database View that joins the Audit Table with the Choice Table.  There are actually 2 separate joins so that I can get the old value and the new value separately.  However, when I display the database view, I have 2 column headers called Label.  I need to have 1 say Old State and the other say New State.

Hi Stan Martin,

You need to create a new label for that field/column and add your database-view-table-name. It will rename the field/column name in database view.

 

Please check this docs: Change the field label or hint and thread: Can't relabel a column in a database view

Hi @Stan Martin 

labels for the headers of database views are stored at table sys_documentation.

If there are no entries for your database view, the labels from the original tables are taken.

Kind regards

you can rename the column name via sys_documentation 

  • Table: database view table
  • Field: new database view field
