Use descriptive names in the first column of the table and columns lists

In the case of database types for which Liberty Reports can display user-friendly captions in place of the table and column names from the database, two columns will be shown when viewing lists of tables or columns. One column will show the user-friendly caption and the other will show the name from the database. The first column will be the column on which best-fit is applied. Best-fit is a feature that allows you to begin typing the first few characters of a name in order to jump down to the first matching entry in the list. Check this box if you want the first column to show the user-friendly captions. Leave this box unchecked to show the database names in the first column.
