> click Object.

Click the browse button next to the Object field > select the object you
want the alias to represent > click OK.
5
If you want to assign additional property values as part of the creation
process for the alias, select Define Additional Properties.
For example, you might want to assign trustees of the alias.
6
Click OK.
Users can use the alias as though it were the actual object that it
represents.
You can customize the views in the left and right panes in various ways. For
example, you can set a different object than My World at the top of the left
pane, and you can adjust the column width in the right pane. You can also
show or hide the view title in the right pane. In an eDirectory tree, you can
filter objects from view in the right pane. (See
Objects" on page 30.)
HINT:
Most customizations to the left and right pane are lost when you exit
ConsoleOne. Only the window size, position, and view title setting are saved.
