Semantic Modeler - create aliases/alternate names automatically when renaming pres layer objects

Michal Zima

As we switch for development of semantic models in OAS to usage of Semantic Modeler (in favor of BI Administration Tool), we are finding out what functionalities from the BI Administration Tool are missing in the Semantic Modeler (and are useful) and would therefore like them to be available in the web-based Semantic Modeler. One of these functionalities is automatic creation of aliases (in Semantic Modeler called alternate names) when presentation layer object (table, column) is renamed. Those aliases then avoid breaking functionality of existing "outputs" (analyses, prompts, possibly even DV workbooks) when referring those "old names" of presentation layer objects. Would be good to have this functionality (possibly optionally activated by developer) also in web-based Semantic Modeler.
