title: Difference between name and field in ColumnDefs for ui-grid (AngularJS)?
body: <p>Can anyone provide a practical example? From my understanding, 
  <code>field</code> refers to the actual field you want to reference. That is, field should be the name of the variable (in the code) that you want to put in the table. <code>displayName</code> is more clear: it just specifies how the column name will be displayed in the table. This seems to be everything you need. What is the purpose of "name" then?  </p>
