Renaming field labels

You can rename field labels to match your team’s terminology. Keep the following in mind:

• Each label has a built-in field code. Field codes do not change if you rename labels. For example, if you rename Disposition (%DISP%) to Substatus, you still use %DISP% for the Substatus field code. See Field codes.
• Columns in the project database are not renamed.
