Changing column name in table

‎07-28-2015 12:28 PM

I'm designing a report in the web client that utilizes a table visualization. How do you change the "friendly" name of the column so that it isn't the database column name?

@zibited999 I suppose there is no way to rename in web client. But desktop tool can easily do this.

Follow the step given below to rename a column
