To rename detailed data in a chart or graph or report, rename it where it is stored in ScaleXP as described below.

How do I rename data in a chart or graph or report? 

  • For most data, you can rename the data series directly in the chart or report. For charts, go to Dashboards (top bar)> three dots (top right of the chart to be edited)>Configure Chart.

More information on this can be found within How to customize a chart 

  • For reports, go to Reports (top bar)>Edit (top right)>Edit Report.
