Add user-defined phrases to the user interface

Note: Users with roles that include the DataAreaAdminAccess_ST security class can see and maintain phrases.
  1. Add a phrase in Configuration Console.
    1. In the Infor Rich Client, access the Configuration Console for Application.
    2. Select Data Area > Phrases.
    3. Click create new record.
    4. In User Phrase, specify the record key. This can also be used as the value in some circumstances, so make sure it is something that makes sense to you and your users and follows your configurations naming conventions. For example ZZZCompany.
    5. In Base Phrase, specify the record value. This is the value you want to display in the user interface. For example, Store.
    6. Click Save.
  2. Optionally, add locale translations for the phrase.
    1. Click the globe icon on the Base Phrase.
    2. Select or define an ISO locale.
    3. In Translated, specify the translation for the locale.
  3. Use the phrase in custom forms or lists. Reference the phrase as <phrase.UserPhrase>

    For example, to override a default field label with the user-defined phrase of "Store"

    • Create a configuration of the list or form.

    • Edit the list field or form field.

    • In the Configuration Console editor view, change the value in the Label field to <phrase.ZZZCompany>.

      In the LPL editor, this would be label is "<phrase.ZZZCompany>"

    • Save your changes.

    Now when you view the form, the field label displays as the phrase base value of "Store" in the list or form. If a locale is set and a translation value exists, the translation is displayed.
