Hello,
Fact sheet names can be long. The “Alias” field is super helpful to reduce the length to a commonly used abbreviation. In fact, it is already an option in reports to use Alias when available but Name when not.
Is there a way for me to use the Alias name in fact sheets in a diagram where space is often at a premium?
Cheers
A

Hi
This is possible in Diagrams by clicking the Labels button and selecting the Alias field:
Please note that you will need to select the Alias field for each fact sheet type present in the Diagram - in the image, I’ve selected Alias for Applications - you would also need to do this (if desired) for Business Capabilities, etc.
Let us know if you have additional questions here.
Best,
Danielle
+1Yes, in any diagram you can choose the “label” for the object by related fact sheet.

Was a response race! Danielle just got there first.
Also: can’t believe I didn’t know this behaviour. Thanks all

You only know, what you know, or at least have not forgotten.
+1We do this ourselves for certain fact sheets (such as Interfaces to simplify our diagrams)
