Alias attribute / view original attribute name via MicroStratey Web

This is one is an easy one but i thought it would be good to keep it as a reference.

How to alias an attribute used in a document using MSTR web:


  • Open the document in edit mode
  • Right Click on the attribute we want to create an alias for
  • Select "Rename / Edit..."


 The Rename/Edit editor by default has the attribute we right click as the default in the "Object" drop down, but we can select other attributes in the grid by changing the selection.


  • Type the attribute alias in the "Name:" text box
  • Click "Apply" and "Ok"


How to view the original attribute name after we have created an alias for an attribute:

  • Right Click on the attribute we want to check the original attribute name for
  • Select "Rename / Edit..."
The original attribute name the alias is mapped to appears in the "Definition" Box
