Renaming Columns

You can rename columns and save the customized names with views. The same column can have a different name in different views, but if you save a renamed column in the Assignments view of either the Projects or Resources sections, the customized name will show in both views. When you click Download, your customized column names appear in the Excel file. When you export a view, your customized column names are saved with the exported view.

To rename a column:

Right click a column heading and click Rename Column.
In the Rename Column dialog box:
1. Either type a new name for the column in the New Name field, or click Default to return a previously renamed column to the default.
2. Click Rename.
Click Save View.

Tips

If a renamed column is removed from a view, the column name is returned to the default for that view.
When you rename a code or UDF column and save the view, your customized name remains with that column in the view even if the code or UDF name is changed in the Enterprise Data page.
