| Definition: | 1. An additional name for a form, view, agent, or image resource. An alias allows you to change a design element name without having to rewrite the formulas that reference the design element. An alias remains intact even if a database is translated or modified.
2. A shortened form of a user name that can be used in any Notes application where directory lookup and type-ahead are supported, such as mail. Unlike the Notes user name and alternate name, aliases cannot appear in Access Control Lists and Execution Control Lists. |
