Changing the global display name of an attribute

You change the display names for attributes in the All Attributes panel.

You can change display names for attributes at a time. The display name does not have to be unique.

Because the display name is used in the front-end application, Endeca recommends that you choose a reasonably short name that is easy to understand by your end users.

To change the global display name of an attribute:

  1. Access the Attribute Settings dialog.
  2. In the All Attributes panel, locate the attribute whose display name you want to change.
  3. In the Display Name column for the attribute, double-click the cell containing the current display name. The cell changes to an editable field.
  4. In the edit field, type in a new display name and press Enter.

The All Attributes panel is updated with the new display name. Any component that lists the display name is also immediately updated.
