Using aliases for attribute names

An alias is an alternative name for an attribute name. You can use aliases in particular to give long names of indirect attributes an alternative, shorter name that meets your requirements.

The alias is displayed in the following elements:

• In the attributes list: the alias replaces the standard name of the attribute. A column must be shown for the attribute, for which you have defined the alias..
• In the Attribute Selection window, the alias is displayed at the position specified by alphabetical order. The alias is highlighted with a blue symbol (Selecting attributes and subattributes for columns of a list). The standard name of the attribute is still displayed.

The alias is output in the following files:

• Network file (*.inpx)
• Attribute file (*.att)
• Model transfer file (*.trax)
• Pedestrian record file (*.pp)
• Vehicle record file (*.ftp)
