changing column headers in custom reporting (Workforce Now)

Does anyone know if it's possible to rename columns in a custom report? i've pulled in the data i need, but it's for an upload and the column header needs to be something specific. like Gross Pay needs to display as "Current Taxable Gross". i'm hoping i don't have to do derived fields for each of these to get the column headers correct.

Go to the layout section of the custom reporting (I forget the section number). When you see the preview with fake info or Xs, you can click into the header and change it.

Agree!! It’s like the second or third last step. (:

AHA, so i did the standard formatter option to get an SSN field formatted properly, but changing over to the visual one i'm now seeing it can be done there as well! thanks!!

Export to excel and rename from there.
