It defines aliases for your sensors. You create a file with entries like 10.A209A9010800 = LoungeTemp 10.1C5BA9010800 = KitchenTemp
Then when you look at the directory structure it uses LoungeTemp instead of 10.A209A9010800, so it is easier to read and a bit more user friendly. You can just miss that out and it will use the id's If you haven't defined aliases then <sensor object>.alias should just return an empty string. For pages I think it depends on the device.
