Reporting-Task Field

Hi,

I renamed Board Status in the ribbon to PMO STATUS REPORT as follows:

When I run my reports, I see "Board Status" not the new revised name.

Thus, can you go to the task field under reporting and make this change! Is it possible?

 

Thanks.

    Thank you, John, for your response. I figured this out, finally. Once you select names from the field box, you will see the selected items at the bottom of the Field List Pane. Right click a field name to rename it.

    Molalenge,
    That's because you just renamed the field column header (i.e. Title), not the field itself.

    I'm not familiar with the Board Status field since I only have a desktop version of Project, but since it isn't a custom field you won't be able to rename it. If you can pick an extra field (e.g. Text1-Text30), then you can customize it as you need, including renaming it.

        Molalenge,
        Okay, the desktop version doesn't have that option so I don't see it but I'm glad you figured it out.
