Changing the name of a data table

The name of a data table is shown in all data table selectors and it is used as the default name in new table visualizations. If the original data table name is unclear, you might want to change it to a better name. Authors can rename data tables in the Data canvas.

Before you begin

You must have some data loaded in the analysis and the analysis must be in Editing mode.
