Item Properties on the Data Presentation Tab

Label

Set, Item

User-friendly name displayed in the Data Chooser and the Ad Hoc Editor.

ID

Set, Item

An identifier used within the Domain. Default table and field IDs are based on the names in the data source, but you can change the ID of a table as long as it remains unique. Set and item IDs are a separate namespace in which each ID must be unique, although based on table and field IDs by default. The ID property value must be alphanumeric.

You should not change IDs for a Domain that has been used to create Ad Hoc views or Topics.

Description

Set, Item
