Renaming a variable
Text and data variables can be renamed. Variable names should be short identifying strings, such as "population". Use the variable title field for more nuanced descriptions.
To rename a variable:
- Open the data pane by clicking "Show Data" in the toolbar
- In the variable table, double-click the "Layer variable" column of the variable whose name you wish to edit
- Type a new name and press Enter
Computed variables cannot be renamed, since their names always reflect the underlying formula.
