Alias Icons and Tags
The Site Tree uses icons and tagging to identify aliases, their DITA content types, content statuses, and other document properties.
Aliases in Site Tree
Each alias item in the Site Tree displays
the DITA content icon 
. DITA items in the Assets Tree also use
this icon. The icon turns blue when you check out the corresponding DITA content.
Hover over aliases in the Site Tree to view these details:
| Data Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Id | The ID of the alias item. Each alias ID includes the letters da and a forward-slash, followed by a number (e.g., da/07). |
| Asset Name | The file name of the DITA content associated with the alias. |
| Asset Id | The asset item ID. Each asset ID includes the letter a and a
forward-slash, followed by a number (e.g., a/28). Version Notes: CMS 10.6.492 CMS 10.6.492 displays the Asset Id field in
the alias tooltip. |

<topicgroup>, <topichead>, or
<topicset> in the Site Tree. These aliases
display the container icon 
.DITA map group element aliases correspond to their containing DITA map. These aliases provide a visual, header-only representation that indicate where group elements exist within the DITA map structure and, if applicable, their impact on map hierarchy.
Document Type Information
Select the Toggle Document Type Information
button 
in the Site Tree to display DITA type
tagging for aliases.
These tags indicate the document type associated with the aliased DITA content. Each tag specifies whether the alias associates with a DITA map, DITA topic, or other. If the alias associates with a DITA topic, then the tag specifies whether the topic type is a concept, task, reference, or other.
Alias Search Results
Users can search for aliases in the main CMS search or when they want to search for an alias to add as a link in site pages or components. Aliases are included under the Pages search filter.
