Question On End User Reporting Configurations

Certified Associate Developer

Hi there,

I have a scenario where i need to change the display name of a record field value. Is it possible to do that while configuring 'Reporting Record Types' ?

ex. my record filed has the value 'SME' but i need to display it as 'Subject Matter Expert' (there is no related table to fetch the expanded value) on the frontend while we display the report. Is it doable in EUR?

Thanks in Advance!

    Hi  ,

    As you mentioned there is no related table to fetch the expanded value, you can create a expression rule to display the value. (This is not a best practice but you can use this if your value list is less than 10)

    The best approach is to have a Lookup or reference table and display the values from that table in the UI and store the Id of the selected value  in your record. So while displaying you can query the lookup and using simple wherecontains logic you can display the value of the stored Id.
