Alias for @keywords

[Epicure]

Hi,

I was trying to set up aliases for some @keywords that I use, but I found out that this option is not available. I only have 3 properties available (see first attachment)


When I look at the icons before the @keywords names, it seems that they are all considered as data-driven categories?? (see second attachment)

Did I mess sth up in my set-up?

Thanks in advance

You cannot alias @Keyword categories.

@Keywords categories are all data-driven categories. They are dynamically created from the keywords in your files, and may change whenever you import files, change keywords in the keyword panel or another application.

Hi Mario,

thanks for your answer. But I suggest you change the Imatch help, because it mentions this, under Categories / The @Keywords Category, which got me to try to alias them :

Using @Keywords
You can use the child categories of @Keywords much like any other category. You can use them in category formulas, Alias them and use them in filters.

You can use the child categories of @Keywords much like any other category. You can use them in category formulas, Alias them and use them in filters.

This statement is correct. You can use @Keyword categories in formulas, filters. You can also alias normal (non-@Keyword) categories to them.

To the OP:  You may want to read up the help file entry on synonyms in the thesaurus.
