Selecting Alias Tables

If an administrator has created alias tables in the database, you can select an alias table for the current worksheet. The alias table selected applies only to the current worksheet and not to future connections.

To select an alias table for the current worksheet:

1. Select a member in an ad hoc grid.
2. From the provider ad hoc ribbon, select Change Alias to display the list of available alias tables.
3. In the dialog box that is displayed, select an alias table, and then click OK.

Note:

If you enter a name from an alias table that is not associated with the current grid, its corresponding alias from the alias table that is associated with the current grid is displayed after you refresh. For example, if you enter QTR1 into a grid that is associated with the Long Names alias, the after you refresh, Quarter1 is displayed.
