System Administration

Add Phrases to Catalogs at the WebApp and Page Level

An Administrator can add translations for phrases in a corresponding language. That phrase translation displays in column headings of Horizontal, Vertical and Filter views.

Adding a phrase translation at the catalog level instructs the platform to display the phrase translation on every applicable page within the WebApp to which the catalog is assigned.

Adding a catalog phrase at the page level displays the translation on that page only.

An Admin can also add dynamic help to a column at the WebApp or page level. This content displays in the Information pane below the Navigation pane when users hover their cursors over the column heading, and can contain information such as a definition of the field in the translated language.

NOTE: No new phrases can be added to the System catalog.

NOTE: Refer to Manage WebApp Catalogs for general information.
