Overview

Aliases are used to match up your identity in pulse™ with your identity in your SCM server(s). Usually, you would ensure that your login name in pulse™ matches your login in your SCM server. However, if this is not possible for some reason, you can instead add an alias to your profile that matches your login in the appropriate SCM. If neither your login nor any of your aliases match your login name in your SCM server you can still use pulse™, however pulse™ will be unable to detect which source code changes are made by you. This will mean certain features (such as the "recent changes by me" table) will not operated as expected.

Managing Aliases

To create a new alias, click the "add new alias" link on the "aliases" table. You will be prompted for a value for the alias. You should enter the exact login name you use to connect to your SCM server.

To delete an existing alias, click the corresponding "delete" link in the aliases table.
