Setup Tips 3: Wise use of Alias

The field "Alias" is not only for recording the alternate name of an object, but also rendering you more convenient to search it. The best example  is drug inventory. If you just search by a drug's alphabetical name, it will return together with a long series of unrelated drugs. But if you add a prefix such as "0" or "*" to create an alias, e.g. 0paracetamol, you will get it in no time. Also some clients' English name are spelled extraordinarily, e.g. Lin instead of Lam, giving an alias "Lam" is very useful for searching.
