π·οΈ Setting a Venue Alias in NX
A Clean, Friendly Name for Reports, NX Mobile & the Super Picker
NX now supports Venue Aliases, allowing you to assign a short, simple, or alternate label for your venue that displays in:
- π Reports
- π± NX Mobile App
- π§ NX Portal Super Picker
This is especially useful for groups with multiple locations, internal numbering schemes, or venues whose full names are long or identical across regions.
π What Is a Venue Alias?
A Venue Alias is a shortened or alternative name used only for UI and reporting convenience.
Your guests will never see it. It does not change your official venue name used on receipts, online ordering, or merchant records.
Example:
- Official Name: NX Bar & Grill
- Alias: NX 01
π οΈ How to Configure a Venue Alias
You can set the alias in the NX Portal:
π Step-by-Step
- Log into NX Portal
- Navigate to β Venue β General Settings
- Under the General tab, find the Alias field
- Enter the alias you want (ex: NX 01)
- Click Save
π± How the Alias Appears in NX Mobile
Once saved, your alias will automatically appear in the NX Mobile App as the venue selector name.
π§ How the Alias Appears in the NX Portal Super Picker
The Super Picker (top-right of NX Portal) will show the alias instead of the long venue nameβmaking multi-location navigation faster and cleaner.

- βοΈ Cleaner, shorter venue names in reports
- βοΈ Faster venue switching in NX Mobile

π Notes
- Aliases do not impact what customers see on receipts or online ordering.
- Aliases are optional, and can be changed at any time.
- Aliases sync instantly to NX Mobile and NX Portal once saved.
