4.17 Aliases
An alias should be treated as a property of a screen and can act as a stand-in for a
tag. The alias can be used to reference a tag wherever that tag can be referenced
directly. An exception to this are foreground and background screens, where tags
can be used but aliases not. When used, iX Developer will act the same as if the
original tag had been used. Each screen using aliases can be configured with a
different instance with different tag references.
Using aliases will enable reuse of screens without hav
ing to create a new duplicated
screen.
4.17.1 CreatingAliases
