Dynamically Change View Column Headings based on Field Value

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by IanMcK 210

I have a table, that displays percentages from the previous three weeks;

I'd like to dynamically change the 'Week x' Percentage' Columns, using the value in the 'Week x' Columns to show the below;

This will remove the need for the 'Week x' columns. Is there any way to dynamically change a Field 'Display Name' or Column heading in the view? Note: The filed values are changed weekly using a Scribe Connection and so the Page/Fields are not loaded on change/save? I'm assuming this rules out using Business Rules/JS?

Thanks in advance!

Ian

    Thanks Tim, I'll take a look.

    Although, can you point me in the area of how to get started with scheduling this?

    I'm not aware of any out-of-box way of doing this.

    However, if you are or know a developer, one idea is to change the column titles (field/attribute display name) programmatically using the UpdateAttributeRequest class in the CRM SDK. This can be done on a schedule, perhaps at the start of each week.
