This chapter describes how to customize the descriptive text and labels that appear on the pages of your Oracle Identity Manager Administrative and User Console. It also describes how to edit the error messages that appear under the specific conditions that generate them.
You can customize the following text:
Descriptions of procedures (for example, instructional text)
Labels for pages
Labels for fields within pages
Labels that appear on buttons
Labels for links to other pages
Copyright dates and information
This chapter contains these topics:
To customize text, you edit the xlWebApp\WEB-INF\classes\xlWebAdmin.properties
file (or the locale-specific properties file).
The text the client displays is contained in the xlWebAdmin.properties
file. For any label, procedural instruction, or error message that you want to edit, Oracle recommends that you do the following:
Access the JSP page in which that text appears.
Reference the property associated with that text.
Lookup that property name in the xlWebAdmin.properties
file.
Properties that control the text on more than one page, or that are associated with multiple product functionalities, are listed in one of the GLOBAL
sections of the file, for example, GLOBAL
messages. These properties are also divided by type-specific labels—for example, messages, buttons, labels—to better organize the groups of the properties.The properties that control the text that appears in more limited contexts of the product functionality—for example, create user, self-registration—are listed in sections labeled in a function-specific manner, for example, MANAGE USER
labels.
The widths of labels in the Workflow Visualizer are calculated by converting pixel lengths to character lengths. An incorrect conversion can result in truncated text or extra white space surrounding the label. The xlRichClient.properties file, or locale-specific file (such as xlRichClient_jp.properties for Japanese), contains a property named global.workflowRenderer.labelWidthFactor
that is used in the conversion of label text from pixel length to character length. To modify the widths of labels in the Workflow Visualizer, modify the integer value that is assigned to this property. A higher integer will increase label widths while a lower integer will decrease them.
