change the column header of when a report is exported to CSV

[bree1]

Is it possible to change the column header of when a report is exported to CSV. By default the column header is the table field name when a report is exported to CSV. So for end users, the field names are not usable to them. They are more interested to see common lay mans term as column headers.

Hi Bree,

I don't think this is possible. You may have to check the out of box export functionality.

Hi Bree,

While we cannot yet add custom headers to a CSV export, we can now definitely enable Column labels to be displayed as header instead of the column names. You just need to set the property 'glide.export.csv.column_header_label' to true. This property is available starting Madrid release.

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Is there a way to set this property on a report-by-report basis?  I'd like to use labels for new reports exported, but there are several scheduled CSV exports that are ingested by other systems and they are using the field names.  

Thanks in advance for any replies.
