How to Set a Display Name for a Variable?

A Display Name defines how a variable appears in your document while designing it. It is especially useful when:

• The original entity or variable name is long.
• Variables are used in tables or other compact areas where text overlap needs to be avoided.

For example, a variable named $bankstatement.customername can be given a shorter Display Name like $bscustname, making it easier to read and manage.

Steps to Set a Display Name

You can assign a Display Name to a variable either while creating it or by updating an existing variable.

Assigning a Display Name While Creating a Variable

1. Create an entity and click on the Add Variable button.

2. In the variable creation section, a separate field will be available to enter the Display Name.

3. Enter the desired Display Name and click Save. 

Assigning a Display Name to an Existing Variable

1. Navigate to the variable you want to update. 

2. Click on the Edit option for that variable.

3. In the Display Name field, enter the new name. 

4. Click Update. The variable will now display with the updated name.
