<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.
