# How to make name of fields more readable in Saiku?

Asked by flandsberg on 2017-05-03

Hi!

It seems Saiku uses the labels (e.g., Number of trees scattered in the cropland) and not the name of a field (i.e., tree_in_cropland)? 

Can this be changed? It would allow me to keep long labels without making the fields in Saiku impossible to read.

Thanks,

Florence

Dear Florence,  
In the Survey Designer, for every attribute, in the **Labels and Tooltip** section, you have the possibility to specify even **Other labels** (just click on the title of this box and it will be opened).  
Among these extra labels there is a **Reporting (Saiku) label** that is used to generate the label of the corresponding *Dimension* or *Meaure* in Saiku. If not specified, the default label will be used.

I hope this will help you, thanks.
