Field Labels

If you are importing data using a connector, sometimes the field names from your HR System are less than ideal. You can't rename the field because it will revert back to its original value when you refresh your chart; however, you can use the 'Field Labels' feature to solve the problem.

For example, the if the name field comes across as 'Last Name, First Name'...













You can use field labels to rename the field...


To change a field label try the following steps:
  1. Open (or import) a chart
  2. Select the File tab (or the Data tab if not using version 3.0 or later)
  3. Select the 'Fields' button
  4. Select the Name field
  5. Type the 'improved' name in the 'Field Label' (at the bottom of the screen)
  6. Click OK
  7. Save your chart
