Creating reports (display names instead of unique field identifiers)

Hello Support Team,

when creating monthly reports, we have the problem that only the unique field identifier is displayed in the header during export instead of the display name. This makes it very difficult to apply the necessary filters afterwards. Is it possible to change this so that the display names are shown instead of the unique field identifiers?

It is not possible to set how the field should be displayed in the report/export in the field itself:

here is an example from the report/export: (the ID should be the display name)

Is there a way to change that?

Many thanks & kind regrads

Hi @Ande,

Thank you for raising this. Right now it’s not possible to show display names instead of the unique identifiers but i will bring this up at our next project-management meeting. I’ll keep you updated afterwards.

Hi @abdullah-khalid ,

thank you for your feedback. The issue has come up again for us. We are surprised that we seem to be the only ones who have a problem with this. It’s great that the report function exists, but since the IDs are displayed in the header, it’s not really useful from our point of view. Is there a trick or a way to create reports in this case? Is there any feedback yet on whether this issue will be fixed?

We have also noticed that there seems to be a bug when using the filter. If, as in our case, we want to set a filter to “OS Version” and select Windows Server 2022 as the value (4th value in the selection), it always jumps to the first value (in our case, Appliances) after saving. Is this problem also known?

befor saving the report:

after saving the report:

This means that the filter function is currently unusable for us.

Thank you in advance for your efforts. We hope that a solution will soon be found for these issues.

best regards,

Andreas

Hi @Ande,

I can confirm the error you’re seeing in the filters and have created a Jira ticket (DAT-2311). I’ll update you here when it’s fixed. Regarding the header display names, we’re also looking into that and I’ll share news soon. Thanks!
