Explanation:
This would sound better in English. However, I'm not quite sure why 'actif' is not in the plural and so these two suggestions may be way off. At the end of the day, with no further context, you may have to ask for clarification from the company. I don't think fichier translates to file here as it is the content and not the support itself that is important.

Yes, of course, \'file\' may be in excess. Regarding the phrase structure, there could be various types of table headings, so maybe 5Q\'s option is the best one. I simply didn\'t want to accumulate guesses and gave the literal translation. I\'ve seen the headings of such kind in English.
