Making customer names Anonymous
I've had a request to share my data outside of my company, no problem, I know how to do that. But, I can't share my customer names in the dashboards. Is there a way for me to redact or just anonymize the names easily? Even a switch that would allow me to change the Name to Industry could work - I just cannot show the company names.

Hi Raj,
I was able to create the index column and then merge my Industry with that Index. That works very well!

Interesting follow up request. Is there a way to toggle what is displayed in a report for a table column? ie between two fields. I'm looking to build a toggle to swap out the AccountName with MaskedAccountName.
