DSS Aliases in Luminate

As a part of Walmart's transition from DSS to Luminate, they updated a significant number of  business element names/terms to become more omnichannel friendly and precise. 

Business Element Names

In the Luminate Basic training, Walmart refers to these element names as aliases. Walmart has also made it clear that all DSS aliases are still searchable when finding report filters, so the changes shouldn't be too catastrophic for pulling the same or similar reports in DSS.

Most of the business element terms used in DSS have remained the same in Luminate. Some have changed only slightly (i.e. changing lowercase letters to capitals, changing abbreviations to full spellings, etc.). Others have changed more significantly. 

Luminate's Attributes and Business Glossary

The full list of these changes lives in the Attributes and Business Glossary document on Luminate's Knowledge Base page. The glossary is an exhaustive list of all attributes and terms used in both platforms, including many that repeat themselves a number of times throughout different circumstances and some terms that did not change at all.

Below is a list of DSS and Luminate aliases that should be fairly common. It is organized alphabetically by the DSS aliases or business element names, and it is designed as a way of helping suppliers rebuild their old DSS reports in Luminate.

NOTE: some of the DSS business elements have more than one element in Luminate, depending on the greater context. In those instances, a comma will separate the two terms. Similarly, some Luminate elements have more than one DSS element name; these are indicated in the same way.

Also, some element names change based on their circumstances. For example, "Item Height" is an element name used in DC Metrics reports as well as Sore Demand Forecasts. The Attributes and Business Glossary is organized by the kind of report being pulled (i.e. Store Demand Forecast). Whereas Walmart organizes its glossary by those categories, we did not duplicate the business elements in their different forms here.
