Creating Aliases for Custom Dimensions

All procedures in this topic assume that you have a metadata file open in Metadata Manager. After you make changes to a metadata file, make sure to save the file.

You use the Metadata Item Properties tab to enter aliases for Custom dimensions. An alias describes a Custom dimension.

Note:

You can use aliases only for custom dimensions.

  To create a dimension alias:

  1. Make sure that the Metadata Item Properties tab is selected, and, from the Metadata Item drop-down list, select a Custom dimension.

  2. In the Alias text box, enter an alias for the dimension.
