The alias field is located in the address manager on the page Weitere Info:
The alias is used for the address search. In addition to the alias, there is also the so-called string representation. This is the string representation of the entry (Firma.asstring) and is shown on the interface, for example, in the list if no expression is entered:
The alias of address entries is always calculated using the built-in string representation logic as follows:
company | If the system setting contains String representation of companies Location is Yes: Name, default location other: Name |
Personality | Surname First name |
Contact us | If person or name is given: Company.Alias, Surname First name otherwise: company.Alias, supplement |
| couple | If Person is linked, Person.Alias, if specified as text Name First name. In each case in the form PersonA, PersonB. |
Simple address | If Name is given: Name First name, zuHanden otherwise toHand |
If one of these members is changed, the alias is rewritten.
The alias can be changed manually. However, if one of the described members is changed, it will be overwritten by the system. That is, a manually modified alias will only persist until a member normally used for the alias is changed.
The alias is always shown as the string representation, except in the following two cases:
- The alias has been deleted (empty alias): If the alias is empty, the built-in logic is used directly to calculate the string representation.
- A
Stringrepexpressionis set: If a String Representation is defined for the corresponding class in System settings > Customizing > Class settings, this representation will be used.
