Labels not replaced with string table values

This topic describes how to troubleshoot problems with component labels.

Symptoms

Note: This topic applies to only on-premises environments.

Component labels are not being replaced with string table values or are not being translated properly.

Possible solutions

Use the Site Name from the General Parameters form to select the correct record on the Sites/Entities form. Make sure that, for this site, there is a value in the Sites/Entities form’s Forms Database Name field (in some versions, labeled as the Strings Table Specification field). If the forms database is on a different server than the application database, the field’s value should also indicate the linked server name, in this format:

server_name.forms_database

TaskMan then determines the proper strings table name by searching the specified forms database for the strings table associated with the current SyteLine session.

If labels are not translated, stop and restart TaskMan. The Strings Table Specification field (or Forms Database Name field) might have been modified after TaskMan was last started. TaskMan checks this value only once, when it first starts up.
