Using Aliases


You can enable the use of database aliases when the data is displayed in the chart or grid. Aliases are defined by the database administrator. For example, the product name in the database is XYZ13579. The product's alias has been defined as Compact_Disc. With this option, the data can be viewed by the source name (XYZ13579) or by the alias (Compact_Disc).

To use aliases:

  1. In the Data Options dialog box, select the Use aliases check box.
  2. Click the OK button to close the dialog box and implement the changes.

When you click the Apply button the changes are implemented but the dialog box remains open.
