<h2>Aliases</h2>
<p>
Sometimes the parameter name (or <b><i>ID</i></b>) AMDA works with (and what you see in the module window after dropping the parameter)
is too long. 
It concerns especially the  parameters from the Remote Centers  when the ID is constructed 
automatically. <b><i>Aliases</i></b> permit you to replace long ID with your own short alias. 
</p>
<p>
<b><i>DoubleClick</i></b> on the parameter node (or use context menu)
and in the opened <b><i>Create Alias</i></b> window you'll see the parameter ID  which
will be put into the forms for plot, data mining, etc. Put any name you prefer and <b><i>Save</i></b> it. <br/><br/>

  You  see new alias added to  the
 Aliases Tree of the WorkSpace Explorer. From now instead of the long parameter ID AMDA will put    
 your alias with "#" prefix into all forms. The aliases are <b><i>dragged-and-dropped</i></b> as the usual parameters.
