Finding the control alias definitions inside the NWare project file

All the control aliases in a project are stored in a file called control_alias.xml. This file is kept inside the project .npa file, which is a zip file.

To find the control alias definitions inside the NWare project file

1. Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the NWare .npa project file.
2. Change the file extension to .zip.
3. Double-click the new .zip file to display its contents.
4. Locate the file control_alias.xml inside the zip file, and then open this file in an editor.

   Each of the control alias definitions looks like this:

   <alias alias="EQ1_BW" ruid="//devices/41/controls/bandwidth" />

   The alias name is EQ1_BW in this example. You can use the NWare find function to locate this control in the project using its alias.

   Some aliases are generated automatically, like this one for a Kiosk2Go control:

   <alias alias="X139753064" ruid="//devices/28/controls/message" />
