Automatically Rename Presentation Columns

You can choose a presentation table and automatically rename all or selected presentation columns to user-friendly names.

Any presentation columns with the Use Logical Column Name field enabled aren't available to automatically rename. See Modify a Presentation Column Name.

The presentation column rename applies the rename actions you specified in the Automatically rename objects when added to the logical layer user preference. For example, Change each underscore (_) to a space. By default, this option is disabled in user preferences. See Automatically Rename Logical Layer Objects.
