Data Column Display Attributes

When you define indicator data, part of the information that you specify is the display attributes for each data column that is retrieved.
The following descriptions are for these fields:
Column Name
is the name of the data column. You cannot modify this value.
In each type of indicator, Column Name is used as the default value for Label Override.
Category Label
is ignored. It is retained for backward compatibility with previous versions of SAS BI Dashboard.
Label Override
overrides the value provided by Column Name. Use this to provide an easier to understand or more descriptive name for the column.
