How can a CRM Analytics consultant customize display labels of fields in dashboards?

The customization of display labels in dashboards can effectively be accomplished through the use of extended metadata (XMD). Extended metadata is a powerful feature in CRM Analytics that allows consultants to define how fields are represented in the user interface, including their display labels. By using XMD, you can tailor the labeling according to specific business needs or to enhance user understanding, ensuring that the labels are both descriptive and relevant.

This functionality is essential because it provides flexibility beyond the default field names and allows for a more personalized user experience, making reports and dashboards easier to interpret for end-users. Extended metadata can be applied to individual fields or datasets, resulting in consistent and clear labeling across various dashboards.

The other options, while related to the overall configuration and functionality of CRM Analytics, do not specifically target the customization of display labels in the manner that using extended metadata does. Editing the dashboard JSON involves deeper customization of the dashboard but does not specifically focus on display labels in a straightforward way. Changing user profile settings pertains more to access and permissions rather than direct display label customization. Adjusting dataflow settings affects how data is processed and transformed but does not directly modify the visual presentation of labels in dashboards.
