Support for Dimension Alias

You can enable Dimension Alias support for Task Manager that will display the Alias member labels for the Year and Period dimensions based on the user preference setting. The Year dimension will be renamed from Year to Years and its members will display the fiscal year format (FY00).

Business Benefit: This feature allows users to view alias labels for the year and period dimension based on their Alias setting in their user preferences.

Steps to Enable

The Dimension Alias can be enabled in Applications > Task Manager > System Settings > Dimension Alias.

If the Dimension Alias support is disabled, then Years will display as numeric values (example, 2024, 2025, and so on) and Periods as their Member Name. They will be displayed this way regardless of the Label Alias the user chooses.

After enabling or disabling this option, the database is refreshed on the application and then you must sign-off and sign-in to view the alias support. All dimensions will be realigned with the application dimension definitions. All references to the year dimension and members will automatically be updated.
