Show folder and column details in filters in alma analytics where multiple columns have identical names.
When creating a repost in Alma there are certain subject areas (e.g Physical Items) where a column name is identical across multiple folders.
For example:
Material Type (Physical Item Details)
Material Type (Bibliographic Details)
Material Type (PO Line)
when viewed in "Create" view in Alma you can see the folder headings above the column headings and there identify which is which.
However when used as filters, only the column heading is displayed - therefore it is impossible to identify which is which without clicking into each filter and looking for Column Formula to see which folder it comes from.
Snip attached .
Please show Folder>Column details in filter display.

This would be really helpful. Thanks for proposing it.

This would be very handy -- I find I am constantly editing the formula for these fields to add a custom heading that includes the subject area.

I would also like the ability to rename a filter--I sometimes filter on calculated columns, and the filter names can get pretty unwieldy, especially if a CASE statement is involved
