Bookshelf v7.7: Setting the Constrain Mode for Working With Symbolic Strings

Setting the Constrain Mode for Working With Symbolic Strings

Siebel Tools can run in either constrained mode or unconstrained mode.

When working in constrained mode, you must choose translatable text strings from the list of available string references. You cannot override the string reference by entering a value for a string override field and you cannot create new symbolic string references.
When working in unconstrained mode, you are not required to choose translatable text strings from the list of string references. You can override the string reference by entering a value in a string override field. You can also create new symbolic string references.

The constrain mode is determined by the following CFG file parameter, found in the [Siebel] section of the tools.cfg file:

EnableToolsConstrain = FALSE

The EnableToolsConstrain mode is binary and must be set to either TRUE or FALSE. It is set to FALSE by default.
