data alias - Details

• 
  Key Concepts: 
  Data alias is a feature of SAP BusinessObjects Profitability and Cost Management (EPM-PCM) that allows users to create an alias for a data element. This alias can be used to refer to the data element in other parts of the system, such as in reports or calculations. This makes it easier to work with large amounts of data, as the alias can be used instead of the full name of the data element. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To create a data alias, users must first select the data element they want to create an alias for. Then, they must enter a name for the alias and click “Create Alias”. The alias will then be available for use in other parts of the system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an alias, it is important to choose a name that is easy to remember and descriptive of the data element it is referring to. This will make it easier to find and use the alias in other parts of the system.
