MicroStrategy ONE
Rename/Edit Objects Dialog Box
The Rename/Edit Objects dialog box allows you to rename objects, such as metrics and attributes, on a report. This can make it easier for you and other users to identify the object and its role on the report. For example, you can rename the Employees attribute to Associates so that all employees are listed in a column named Associates.
A metric name can also be changed dynamically, depending on the prompt answer. For example, a report contains the Region attribute and the Revenue metric. The report is filtered by a prompt on the Year attribute. The metric name can include the years selected in the prompt, such as "Revenue for 2010" or "Revenue for 2011".
For steps to rename an object, see How to Rename Objects on Reports.
