Specifying a Default Alias Table, and Setting Member and Alias Display Options

If you create alias tables with aliases for dimensions and members, you can select a default alias table for the application. You can set preferences for which set of aliases (stored in an alias table) to use for displaying member and dimension names.

To select the application’s default alias table:

1. On the Home page, click Application.
2. Click Settings.
3. From Alias Table, select a default alias table.
4. In Member Name/Alias Display, select the option that enables the type of member data to be displayed on the Member Selector throughout your application:

   • Default—The data determined by the form, grid, or dimension settings

   • Member name—Only member names

   • Alias—Only member aliases, if defined

   • Member name : Alias—Names followed by aliases, if defined

   • Alias:Member name—Alias, if defined, followed by the names

5. Click Save.
