Aliases are a short versions of questions or responses. When you create or edit a survey, you have the option of entering an alias whenever you create a question or specify a response choice. This is a useful feature when you are generating a report; as the aliases will appear as the topic headers rather then entire item text. In addition, if you wish to use statistical application such as SPSS for further analysis, the alias feature allows you to rename the responses or questions to the format specific to that software. Both Ultimate Survey Enterprise Edition .Net and Professional Editions support aliases.


For example, if the question was:
