Alias Names Tab

Aliases are alternate names for feature classes that provide a unique identity. They are used by the Lucity Webmap, Lucity Viewer, and Lucity Mobile to identify which feature classes are linked to Lucity. These Lucity mapping applications check the feature classes loaded into them and check the display names of those feature classes against the Aliases listed in the Geodatabase Configuration.

Aliases can be associated in three ways

In the Geodatabase configuration directly to the feature class record using the Alias Names tab for each feature class.
By setting the feature class alias in ArcCatalog, and using the Import Feature Class Alias Name tool in the Geodatabase Configuration.
By setting an alternate feature class name in ArcMap and using the Alias Import tool.

The Alias Names tab has two grids. The Associated Aliases grid is a list of all the aliases assigned to the feature class.

Right - click on an existing record to get a menu with options to Add, Edit, Delete, or Disassociate.
Disassociating a record in this grid will detach it from the selected feature class, and move it to the Available Aliases grid.
Whenever a feature class appears in the Lucity Viewer, Webmap, or Mobile Map Mode with a name from this list, Lucity will connect it to the associated module.

alias_names

The Available Aliases grid is a list of aliases not currently associated to any feature class. It is shared between all feature classes.

Right - click on an existing record to get a menu with options to Add, Edit, Delete, or Associate.
Associating a record in this grid will attach it to the selected feature class, remove it from this grid, and add it to the Associated Aliases grid for the selected feature class.

How To

Add an Alias in a grid

Right click in the grid and select Add. The following popup will appear.

Note: Aliases apply to the feature class and any replica feature classes.
