Renaming "Created Date" on analytic snapshots.

Hi I recently set up a analytic snap shot that reports the current number of open opportunities I have it grabbing the information fine, however the field that reports the date range so it can plot the trend reads "Created Date" at the bottom. 

 

My institution is big on naming and having a chart plotted by "created date" reads a little silly, I'm trying to find a way to rename this field to "Snapshot date" or "Posted Date". How exactly do i go about renaming this field?

You can't rename the standard field.  What you could do is create another date field on your analytic snapshot object, and map the created date value to it.  Then use that field on your report and chart.

Thank you! that actually worked and is a very easy solution. 

I was thinking we would need some 3rd party app to make the API work more like SQL or something crazy like that.
