I have followed various instructions for changing the field name/caption displayed on my logs, but they are still showing as the previously-entered text.
I have updated it via Data Design > Project Database > Name, Caption, etc.
And also Data Design > Project Database > Tables > Properties.
The fields have been successfully changed in the Input field, but hasn't changed at all in Output or preview. Could someone please guide me to what I'm doing wrong? Thank-you.
Hi Miles, thanks for your reply.
I've followed your instructions as above, but the changes still aren't showing. When I clone the data and import existing project, my captions show under Data Design, but they don't show in Output.
This is what my caption looks like in the newly created/cloned project:
But this is how it continues to display in Output:
Similarly, I have amended the typo in "Consistancy" above, which shows in the Caption, but still doesn't show in the output.
Thank-you.
OK, go to the "Report Design" tab, click on the "Logs" tab (presuming it's a log your modifying) and you should see something like below
As you can see, the main body of the log is made up of columns (the things with the dashed X through them) these are column entities of various types. To edit a column, just double click on one. (somewhere in the dashed "X" are is best. This will bring up the columns properties dialogue as below
You want to click on the "Column" tab and change the columns Column Header Label content to what you want
then click the OK button at the bottom of the dialogue and you should see that the column header has changed. That's about it really. Hope it helps :-)
