Steps to rename an object mapped to a column

You can use the Rename option to change the name of an attribute or a metric in the Object field in the Mapping pane. Only new attributes and metrics can be renamed. You cannot rename those that are mapped to existing attributes and metrics that have already been saved to the metadata (those that already exist in the Freeform Objects folder or in any folder displayed in the Object Browser window). This is as designed and meant to reduce the creation of duplicate metadata objects.

Prerequisites

  • The procedure below assumes you have already created a Freeform SQL report and it is open in the Freeform SQL Editor.

  • You must have the Define Freeform SQL report and Create schema objects privileges to access and use the Freeform SQL Editor.

To rename an object mapped to a column
