Avoiding fully qualified names of the colums in the selection box?

[#1]

Hi,

i have few tables, that are qualified with table name to avoid synthetic keys between the tables.

But when user makes selection the Current selection box showing Tablename.FieldName...

is there any way to show only the fieldname in the current selections box, when selection made on fully qualified field?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

SD

May be try an alternative to Current Selection Box

You can hide those fields by using a prefix like '%'.

Use as below

SET HidePrefix='%';

Load your field names as

LOAD

Field1 as %Field1

to avoid showing them in Current Selection Box.

A common recommendation is to provide only user-friendly field-names within the gui. This meant either to avoid qualifying and renaming explicit all fields manually appropriate and/or to rename them afterwards with a rename-mapping. How to, see here: How to Rename Fields.
