Specify Synonyms for Data Model Columns from the Console

Administrators can use the Data Model tab (Search Index page) to add synonyms for specific data model column names to make them easier to search and find from the home 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 complete, the administrator imports the modified CSV file containing synonyms into Oracle Analytics. See About Managing Data Model Indexing and Synonyms Using a CSV File.
