Column Aliases

Use the Column Aliases option on the View menu to specify whether to display column aliases in your report layout.

An alias is an additional name for a database column. Aliases are helpful if you have cryptic column names. For example, you could change a column name such as la_stors to Los Angeles Stores to make it clearer.

You define an alias for a column when you select the column in the SQR Production Reporting Studio Query Builder or in the column's object properties. To access a column's object properties, right-click the desired column and select Object Properties from the pop-up menu that appears. Enter the alias in the Alias field in the Object Properties dialog box.
