Defining Column Aliases

Aliases are alternate names that can make cryptic column names clearer. For example, you could change PURCH_NO to Purchase Number.

To define a column alias, go to the Query Builder - Fields page and enter the alias in the Alias column under Query Fields.

Once you define an alias, you can view the alias name in the report layout by selecting View , then Column Aliases.

To change a column alias in the report layout:

Right-click the column, select Object Properties, and change the alias in the Alias field on the Format tab.
Select the column and change the alias in the Property Explorer.
