Q: Why should I customize element names in the data table?
A: Renaming elements helps you organize and analyze your heatmap data more effectively by creating clear, descriptive names that make insights easier to access.

Q: How do I change the name of an element in the data table?

  1. Open Your Heatmap: Go to the heatmap page you wish to modify.

  2. Access the Data Table: Click on the "Data Table" button to view analytics.

  3. Locate the Element: Find the element you want to rename in the table.

  4. Click the Name Field: In the "Name" column, click on the current name.

  5. Edit the Name: Enter the desired new name in the text input field.

  6. Save Changes: Press Enter or click outside the field to save.

  7. Verify the Update: The data table will refresh, showing the updated name.

Q: What are best practices for renaming elements?
A: Choose clear and descriptive names for easy identification. Renamed elements will retain their new names in future sessions, but this change only affects your view, not the website’s actual HTML.

Q: What are the benefits of renaming elements?
A: Renaming elements helps you:

  • Group similar elements together

  • Identify areas of interest quickly

  • Create more meaningful reports tailored to your analysis

Q: Will renaming elements affect the website's actual HTML?
A: No, renaming elements in the data table only changes how they appear in your Heatmap.com interface and does not alter the website’s HTML.

Q: What if I need more help renaming elements?
A: For personalized assistance, feel free to contact our support team!
