Modify a Presentation Column Name

When you drag and drop a logical table or logical columns to the presentation layer, by default the resulting presentation columns have the same names as the logical columns they're based on. You can change a presentation column's default name to a more user-friendly name.

Semantic Modeler doesn't create an alias when you change a presentation column's name. If you need to track a column's previous names, then Oracle recommends that you use the Alternative Names field to create and manage alternative names for the column. For more information about alternative names, see About Alternative Names for Presentation Objects.

1. On your home page, click Navigator and then click Semantic Models.
2. In the Semantic Models page, click a semantic model to open it.
3. Click Presentation Layer .
4. In the Presentation Layer pane locate and expand the presentation table containing the column to rename. Double-click the column.
5. In Name, enter a new name for the column.
6. Optional: In Alternative Names, type an alternative name and press Enter. Repeat this step to add more alternative names for the column.
7. Click Save.
