LCID Properties

The LCID Properties screen is accessed by selecting "LCID Properties" from the Web Part Administration drop-down menu. It allows you to customize the labels for all of the visual presentation items in the Data Publisher (screen headings, messages, field names, etc.). You can customize all of the text presented to the user.  You can also make style and images modifications, but this is not recommended.

The list of items you can control is quite long and extensive.  You may find it easier to search for the item you wish to modify.  To do this, type some or all of the text you want to find in the "Search LCID Names field" at the top of the listing and then click Search.  All of the settings that meet your criteria will be displayed.

To Modify a Property:

1.  Locate the property you want to modify.

2.  Make the desired changes in the edit field to the right of the property. If the contents are larger than the size of the field, it may be easier to click the blue button displayed to the right of the field when you place your cursor in the field. This opens a text entry box that makes it easier to see the entire contents of the field. If you use the text entry box, click OK to close it when you are finished editing.

3.  When you are finished making your changes, click Store Settings to apply your changes. They are put into effect immediately.

If you searched for a property using a particular value and then changed that value, the property will not be displayed when you return to your search results. You will need to search for the property referencing the modification you just made. Also, most properties are utilized in one location in the Data Publisher. You may need to modify multiple properties to affect all of the locations where that text is displayed.

NOTE 1: When modifying the properties for any alert or pop-up boxes, you need to use a special character to add line breaks or carriage returns.  To provide a line break in the text, type \n before the text you want to appear on the next line below.

NOTE 2: These two characters together are unsupported and should be not included in any of the LCID Properties: “<” and “%”.  These characters can only be used independently of each other.
