Specify Synonyms for Data Model Columns from the Console

Administrators can use the Console's Search Index page (Data Model tab) to add synonyms for specific data model columns to make them easier to search and find from the home page or Oracle Analytics AI Assistants.

To learn about how to assign data column synonyms, see Tips on Using Synonyms for Home Page and AI Assistants Search.

Administrators can perform this method of specifying data model synonyms from the Data Model tab on the Search Index page.

Note: Alternatively, administrators can export a CSV file containing the data model columns and distribute it to business users to update with synonyms. When completed, the administrator imports the modified CSV file containing synonyms into Oracle Analytics. See About Managing Data Model Indexing and Synonyms Using a CSV File.
