Customize Report Column Headers

How to custom report-column headers for Healthcare Productivity.

Normally, you cannot edit the column headers of a read-only standard or custom report from Web Designer. However, you can use the properties file to customize any labels including report headers.

Example: You can change the displayed column header for the non-productive mapping categories in the Employee Actual Hours report for Healthcare Productivity. Rename Regular NonProd 1 to Education and Orientation, Regular NonProd 2 to Training, and Regular NonProd 3 to Onboarding.
