Set The Alias For The Set / Show Alias

Displays this set's elements using a specific alias, overriding whatever the dimension's default alias is. Useful when one report needs to show friendly names in some columns and codes (or a different alias entirely) in others - each set on the Workview can specify its own.

Shown per alias, not as one generic instruction

The available instructions panel lists one entry per alias defined in the model, each labelled Show Alias: <alias name> (e.g. Show Alias: Number - Name) - pick the entry for the alias you want, rather than adding a single instruction and typing the alias name in.

Example

1. Element: All Accounts
2. Set The Alias For The Set: Number - Name

Shows account 200 as 200 - Sales rather than just 200, without changing the dimension's default alias used everywhere else.
