[EP-tech] views_render to manipulate a views index

Dear list,
I've created a view on the authors_id|editors_id but when displaying I would like to replace the ids (username) of the users with their associated account names as stored in the users table. These account names have to be looked up as they are not saved as part of the publication (when the publication is rendered the UNDEFINED is hidden), as the user does exist in the publication but may have a slightly different name as published by the journal and these names are saved without usernames.
My question is: Is there a way via the configuration options of EPrints to implement such a lookup & replacement (creators_id / username => account name) for the purpose of views, I was looking at some of the views_render examples as provided with the application could the replacement be done via one of these. There is no documentation about views_render on the EPrints website. 

Thanks in advance

Stephen
