Setting the Dimension Alias

In Consolidation and Planning applications, you can change the alias, or dimension name, in order to see a different name in the deployed application. The Dimension Alias property is useful in cases where you want to view a different name for a dimension in the deployed application versus what is displayed in the Shared Library or application.

  To set the Dimension Alias property:

  1. Select the dimension in the Shared Library.

  2. In the Property Grid, change the category to System.

  3. Double-click the Dimension Alias property and enter a new dimension name (alias).
