Create Aliases

On the Aliases tab, you can assign alternate names, or aliases, to a dimension, member, or shared member. For example, in the <yourapplication>.Basic cube outline, members of the Product dimension are identified by product codes, such as 100, and by descriptive aliases, such as Cola.

  1. On the Applications page, expand the application.
  2. From the Actions menu, to the right of the cube name, select Outline.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. Drill into the outline to find the member you want to update and select it.
  5. Right click and select Inspect.
  6. Click Aliases.
  7. In the field for the alias table you want to use, enter the value of the alias.
  8. Click Apply and Close.
  9. Click Save.
