Can we allow for a manual retitling of the transcription table? For example, could we overwrite 'votos_en_numeros' to 'Number of Votes'?'

hey phil - the transcription table field names reflect the form field names. you can edit the field names in the task settings. so, if a form field was titled Number of Votes instead of Votos en Numeros, it'd show up as number_of_votes in the transcriptions table.

Is there any way to edit it in the view setting? Again, just thinking for an admin who may not be fully comfortable with data/storage.

cathydeng commented 9 years ago

for the sake of consistency, the table field name should always be derived from the form field name, so it'd be best to keep renaming in the task settings. however, we could display the name of the field exactly as entered (any capitalization, spaces instead of underscores) on the transcriptions table, if that's friendlier.

Right, the display is the only concern. On the back end, it's perfectly fine to keep as-is. It was mainly tweaking the display that I was referencing. Thanks!
