An account alias is an additional identifier, such as a DID number, linked to the main account; calls to an alias use the main account's balance, product, and other parameters. Use the Account aliases tab to search for, edit, and delete the aliases created for this account.

Customize the panel
- Change table settings – click Settings
in the title bar to customize columns and change row style. - Re-order the columns – drag-and-drop the column headers right or left to place the columns in the order you want.
- Re-order the rows – click Arrow
(or 
) next to the column header to re-sort the rows. For example, the Alias list panel displays aliases in ascending order. You can re-sort them in the reverse order. - Change the default number of results globally – use the Number of results dropdown list in the lower right corner to adjust the maximum number of rows that appear on the panel. By default, the panel displays 25 rows. Once the number is changed, it's automatically saved, so the same number of rows is shown for PortaBilling entities, e.g., customer, account, reseller, etc.
