As we all know each field in a form has at least three names, one the user
sees (user-facing), the name we see in the admin tool and the name stored in
the database.
I have a manager who wants a csv file listing all the fields on a form
showing the user-facing name alongside the admin-tool name. The reason is
that users see the admin-tool name (or the database name) while putting
together reports. We have for instance, relabeled field 'Tag Number' so that
users see 'PIMS Number', but it remains 'Tag Number' in the admin tool and
Tag_Number in the database.
The admin-tool and database names are easy to come by, but how can I extract
the user-facing names? Will arinside do it? I can't install anything needing
admin rights without a song-and-dance routine with computer security--that
takes weeks. If arinside or some other tool will do the trick, I can
possibly speed up that process.
I've been through the database this morning looking in a MS SQL installation
on my laptop, and I do not see a table under ARSystem that holds the info I
need. For instance, Field has the name and a lot of other info, but column
fieldName is the admin-tool name.
Any help would be appreciated. Is the answer obvious? Am I missing
something, as usual?
Thanks.
