Aliases provide a consistent access to Kanzi objects. You can use aliases to access objects both in Kanzi Studio and Kanzi Engine. Because while creating your application in Kanzi Studio you move objects in your project, the easiest way to keep track of them in code is to use aliases. You can retrieve alias target objects in application code using the name of the alias, regardless of object location in the project. See Using aliases.
Shortcuts provide a consistent access to Kanzi resources. You can use shortcuts to access resources both in Kanzi Studio and Kanzi Engine. See Shortcuts.
