The column names are the names of the columns in the CSV file exported from Fotoware. These are also the names that users are presented with when using, for example, PowerBI to create visual reports. In such tools, users must select from the list of columns to determine which data they want to include in their visualization.
The exact set of fields depends on the Activity Export configuration. For example, the metadata fields exported are configurable.
