Modifying a Predefined Symbolic String

You can modify a predefined symbolic string, which is a string that comes predefined with Siebel CRM. It includes a SBL_ prefix in the Name property. For more information, see About Predefined Objects.

CAUTION:  It is recommended that you do not modify a predefined symbolic string. Instead, it is recommended that you create a new symbolic string that includes the text you require. It is recommended that you do not modify the display value of a predefined symbolic string. Siebel CRM might use this display value throughout the Siebel client. For a monolingual deployment, you risk modifying text in the Siebel client that you do not intend to modify. For a multilingual deployment, you risk breaking the relationships between display values for different languages. For more information, see Creating a New Symbolic String.
