The names of fields in widgets are taken from the raw data. To make these names more comprehensible, you can rename the fields in your widget.

**To rename a field in a widget:**

1. In the Widget Designer, right-click on a field, for example, in the X-AXIS, Y-AXIS, VALUES, CATEGORIES areas and so on.
2. In the menu, select **Rename**.

   **Note:**

   Renaming a field only affects how it is displayed in the current widget. This field's name is not affected in the Data Browser or in other widgets in the dashboard.
