Alias, Smart Lists, and Menus

These features turn a technical database into a user-friendly application.

1. The Definitions

* Alias Tables: Nicknames for members (e.g., 'A101' -> 'Sales Revenue').

* Smart Lists: Dropdown menus that store numbers but show words (1 = 'High').

* Action Menus: Right-click shortcuts that allow users to run scripts.

2. The Smartphone Analogy

* Alias Table: Contact list shows 'Mom' instead of her phone number.

* Smart List: A dropdown to pick 'AM' or 'PM' instead of typing it out.

* Action Menu: Long-pressing an app icon to see 'Quick Actions'.
