You can give easily recognizable names to columns that appear as columns on list windows, and as fields edit windows. (For example, the column “second_id” on either the Borrower List window or the Edit Borrower window might show under the label “E-mail Alias,” making it clear what information belongs to that field.)
You can change the labels of the columns or fields; however, you cannot change the name of the column that the label refers to. (For example, you could change the label “E-mail Alias” of the second_id field to a label such as “Soc. Sec. No.” The column name “second_id” would remain the same and should not be changed.)
To change the label for a column or entry field
1 | Open the view for the window with the columns or fields for which you want to change the label. |
(For instructions on opening the correct view, see Finding and Opening the Correct View.)
2 | Click Page Down or resize the window to display the List View group or Edit View group of the window you are reconfiguring. |
3 | Choose the column with the label that you want to change from the List View or Edit View drop-down list. |
Note: The Column Name and the Column Label will not necessarily be the same. The Column Name refers to the SQL column in the database. The SQL column name never changes. The Column Label is what appears as a column or field on a window and can be changed.
4 | Enter the label in the Column Label field. |
5 | Save your changes. |
6 | Exit Horizon and log back in to view your changes. |
