String Value Settings

The following settings are available on the Values page.

For details, refer to About Localization.

Categories/Sections Settings

Strings are organized into:
  • Categories

    Design object strings that are associated with primary and auxiliary tables from a deployed process app, or a full feature set, such as strings for Work Center or Request Center.

  • Sections

    A grouping of strings within a category. For example, the main section in the Request Center contains strings from the main Request Center page. The transition section in a primary table contains transition name strings.

Navigate through the list of categories and sections or use the Search option to highlight a specific category or section.

Select a section to filter the content pane to strings in that section.
