An Alias is the way to identify different property names in different parts that mean the same thing. Once defined, an alias can be used in a filter or report. By defining an alias to combine properties from different parts, you can configure report without having to worry if you are getting the right value from each part.  

For example:

Diameter – Model Properties that contain Diameter values include Diameter, Diameter Trade Size, Duct Diameter and more.

Weight – Model Properties that contain Weight values include Total Weight, Weight, and more.

Use the Sequence column to tell STRATUS which values should be usered used first in filters and reports:

1. The lowest sequence number is ordered at the top making it your first choice.
2. Numbers can be negative.
3. Sequence numbers do not have to be unique.
4. STRATUS will use the first alias it finds a value for.
