Suppress repeated row or column headings. When selected, one column or row heading is displayed across multiple columns or rows. When deselected, the column or row heading is repeated in each column or row.

Headings - Alias Table

Alias table to use when showing aliases. By default, this option is set to the default alias table for the database connection.

Note:

When selecting “User Point of View” for the alias table, the User POV's alias table value is used when running any grid against Planning. The member aliases returned will be from that table. Also, this does not affect the “Alias Table” specified in Conditional Formatting or Conditional Suppression where the user indicates a specific alias table and values on the alias.
