Good morning,

You could help me by telling me how to change the name of a column, for example if I have In Bit Rate and change it to Bitrate (MU)

Thanks for your help.

Hi Javier,

you can do that by going to the so-called Information Template.

  • right click on an element of that type
  • select Protocols & Templates in the right click menu
  • click 'view available templates'
  • this will open a UI where you will find in the second column the Information Templates
  • you can create an Information Template, and in there you will have to locate your metric, and select it, and change the description on the top right (check the override option and enter your new name).
  • then make sure that you assign this Information Template (i.e. right click it and set it as the active one)

Feel free to reach out if you require further assistance.

Here's some more details about the user of Information Templates.

Do note that you’ll have to adapt Automation Scripts in case the column name is used for table settings instead of the column PID.
DummyElement.SetParameterByPrimaryKey([column name],[primary key],[value]);
