IAttributeHeaderFormOf.name property

Human readable name of the attribute.

Signature:

name: string;

Remarks

Note: attribute name is typically more descriptive than the display form. Therefore, visualizations often use the attribute name for axes and other descriptive elements of the chart such as tooltips.

For example attribute called 'Location' may have multiple display forms each with different name and possibly also different data type such as 'ShortName', 'LongName', 'Coordinates', 'Link' etc. Using the display form name would often lead to visualizations which are harder to comprehend.
