Replacing Database names in search object etc.

Hi Experts,

I have used standard database table and column names in Qlikview Dashboards.

I have used Qualify ; function throught so that the names are consistent throught(DB, QVD, Datamodel and Dashboards)

However this is a problem. Using these names(Table.Column) in the search objects and other objects in the dashboard are not user friendly for obvious reasons like they are technical.

Now can i smartly change the names of these fields to show a user friendly name. Can I do something at the dashboard side?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,

Shyam.

You can use "as" sentence to change the name of fields in script

Thanks for the inputs Enrique.

But in my case I am using a datamodel and If had to change there are around 300 fields that I need to change in the script.

However, the search object do have only a few fields that need to be displayed with a user friendly names. Is there any other alternative?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Shyam.

I think you will need to rename these fields but you could simplfy it with a mapping-table and a rename-statement like this:

rename fields using MapTab;
