Configuring Whether to Use Aliases in the Filter Details

You can rename an object on a report, to display a more meaningful description in the context of that particular report, for example. An alias does not change the name of the object, only the name displayed on the report. A filter still uses the name of the object, not the alias. You can determine whether aliases replace object names in the filter details.

For more information on creating aliases, see the Basic Reporting Help.

For example, the Revenue metric has been aliased as Sales in a report. The filter details below display the metric name, not its alias.

The filter details shown below display the object's alias instead.

You can also choose to inherit the setting instead, as described in Levels of Report Details Configuration.
