I've got to create a standard view but I want to display column names different than originals. For example, this view will include the "ID" field, but I need to show its column header like "Order number". As far as I know Sharepoint doesn't let you choose the display name of a field for a specific view... How can I do this?

Maybe create calculated columsn that do nothing but display the content of the original field for each of the fields you want "translated", then include those in the new view?

  • Thanks! It worked. But there were a few things that made me choose another solution. When I copy the "Title (linked to item with edit menu)" column I lose the link and the edit menu. Also when I copy the workflow status column it shows numbers instead of the status string. Since I'm showing this view within a web part (a kind of list view container) I ended up replacing column names using SPView.RenderAsHtml Method! – THRaKaTTaK Jan 04 '10 at 19:07
