Who can do this: Only users with Admin permissions can rename fields within a dataset.

Why rename a field?

Renaming a field helps ensure that column names on your Fleet Manager AX Boards are clear, consistent, and easily understood by all users. For example, changing a field from "Tot_Miles" to "Total Miles" improves clarity on reports and dashboards.

Renaming is done at the dataset level, which means changes apply everywhere the field is used, including reports, KPIs, and boards.
