It would be better to have a framework that supports easy global field renaming. Multi-line headers used to be the quicker way to modify the field names but even then it was not a global effect due to potentially hard coded titles within the axvws.

It should noted that even if you change the multi line headings that the workplace portal is hard-coded to use a separate language and file system to reference the field names. Also the newer html5 like views tend to ignore the multi line headings.

One example of needed configurable field name is rooms. Many see that a concept of a room doesn't align to modern day vocabulary. A room originally appears to be a space clearly defined by 4 walls. But nowadays many people use a concept of a 'resource' or a 'space.' It would be nice to really have a configurable field ability that is transparent across the application (from the reports, to the navigator, to the portal).

Ie some may also call it an asset.
