Hello,
How in the world do I rename these grid panel columns? It’s pulling them from the BAQ alias… I wish it would pull the label name instead.
Did it create a DataView that you can edit?
If not, you should be able to go to the grid properties and change each column name:
No, when I go to the Grid Model > Columns section I don’t see any to pick from.
@Doug.C is that a BAQ grid you have there or is that one that is bound to a dataview?
@Doug.C I feel like you’re onto something. It’s obvious the way I have it wired up isn’t going to allow me to have control of the columns like you do.
You aren’t using a BAQ exactly how I am, are you?
My thoughts are I am going to have to create a custom dataview and then bind that to the grid to be able to do what you are doing where you are doing it… I am confused either way.
Is that really necessary to be able to re-name the columns??
@utaylor
I apologize. I went off of my normal change column process. It looks like there are no options (that I can see) to rename BAQ columns. Even creating a DataView based on a BAQ doesn’t allow me to change them.
I’m not that deep into the Kinetic side yet, but maybe someone else has an idea…
So if I create a dataview with the columns and datatypes that I want to bind my query results to you think that won’t work?
So here’s the steps I am thinking I’ll need to do:
-
Create a dataview from my BAQ
-
Then do this (sorry this is Epicor documentation but I am literally about to detail it anyways):
Whatever, I’m gonna start down that road I detailed above and probably fail, but I’ll update you in the end @Doug.C
@Doug.C that wasn’t it… haha
Here’s what I’ll try next and it looks like it’ll work. HOWEVER, pretty lame I gotta do this for every grid that wants to use the BAQ. It would be cool if I could make a dataview based off the BAQ and then re-name the columns there so that I could just bind whatever panel card grid/grid I wanted to the dataview and use the predefined naming that I set up instead of having to rename columns in every grid. Idk, it’s neither here nor there at this point. Would need to think deeper about this. OR I guess that’s pretty dumb too cause how many times are you going to re-use the BAQ in different grids on the same form… I guess it would be cool if somehow we could just choose in the provider model that we want to use the BAQ label names.
This is the solution @Doug.C . Gotta create the columns manually in the Grid Model.
@Doug.C I am just happy there IS a way to do this. At least there’s that. 
That is, indeed, the way to do it as tedious as it is.
I’m hoping in the future they allow you to edit this field and have it translate to column titles.

And a method that is internationalization/accessibility friendly.
I’m sorry, are you lost? This is Epicor.
Yes, that’s what I was hoping, but at the same time it’s like I don’t even want to do that. Just let me pull the labels from my BAQ where I did it to begin with, you know? Why do I need to create a dataview just to rename my columns. I already did that in my BAQ.

I’d like to see it default to the BAQ labels, but I want the ability to override them there as well.
