Comment: Updated the Alias description based on the approved Glossary term (with some formatting changes)

An An alias is  is a unique, user-specific identifier, set by the application owner   (for example, the user's email or an internal system ID number).

Aliases have the following uses:

  • The app owner and Appoxee both use the same alias to identify the user.

...

  • All devices owned by

...

  • a specific user (an iPhone, an iPad etc.) are identified by the same alias.

...

  • Aliases are used to create segments of application users, based on user-specific properties (as opposed to application-specific properties).
Note

Note the difference between aliases and tags:

  • Aliases are user-specific, and each user can only have one alias (shared by all the user's devices). 
  • Tags are app-specific, and you can assign multiple tags to the same device. 

The alias API enables you to perform actions on a device's alias.

All the methods are callable through "Appoxee.methodName", since they are all public static methods.
