Applying Text Changes

Use the following context menu options to apply text changes in the data model:

  • For info area and field names:
    • Select Apply texts (in the Info Area level) to apply the text changes for the selected row.
    • Select Apply all texts to apply text changes for all info areas.
  • For catalogs and values of fixed catalogs:
    • Select Apply changes to apply the text changes for the selected row.
    • Select Apply all changes to apply text changes for all catalogs (and values).

      These options are also available for info areas (Text column).

    When selecting one of these options the text changes are applied to the active data model. To create/update text table records for these texts, select Transfer texts in the Text info area, see Displaying and Editing Texts. The text record's ID is written to the Reference (Text) column in the data model.

In addition you can transfer texts to and from the Text info area. The following context menu options are available for info areas (Text column) and catalogs:

  • Transfer current info area's texts to the Text table (translate): Select this option to transfer custom texts defined for an info area (or catalog) to the Text info area. You are prompted to choose the languages for which texts should be transferred.

    The text record's IDs are written to the Reference (Text) column. If a text already exists in the text table but is used in other formats or records, a new text record is created for the data model text. Select Apply changes to save the text table references in the data model.

    If you delete custom texts from the data model, the corresponding text table records are deleted when selecting Transfer current info area's texts to the Text table (translate).

    To transfer the original resource texts of an info area as well (e.g. for translation purposes), activate the Include resource texts option before selecting Transfer current info area's texts to the Text table (translate).

  • Transfer current info area's texts form the Text table (apply translation): Select this option to transfer translated custom texts from the text table to the date model for the current info area (or catalog).
    Note: Only texts that are already linked to a text ID (Reference (Text) column) can be transferred to the data model.
