Once you have added an alias to your asset, you can:
Note that the Insights query editor will only show assets with their technical name. If an alias has been added, you can view it from the asset sidebar.
Add a more descriptive and user-friendly alias to your assets or use Atlan AI, if enabled in your Atlan workspace.
