Symbolic String (H)
A symbolic string includes text that Siebel CRM displays in the client. Many objects include a translatable string property, such as the caption of a Control object. To get a string value, the string reference property of this object can reference a symbolic string. For example, the Caption - String Reference property can reference a symbolic string. To support separate languages, Siebel CRM can save the contents of a symbolic string in one or more child symbolic string locale objects. For example, the SBL_ACCOUNTS-0910145428-0HN symbolic string might include two symbolic string locale children, where one child contains a display value for English, such as Account, and another child contains a display value for German, such as Kunde. This object type occurs in the following location in the object hierarchy:

Current String Value |
Specifies the text that Siebel CRM displays in the client. Siebel Tools automatically determines this value. It uses the value that the String Value property of the child symbolic string locale contains. It uses the symbolic string locale for the language that is currently active in Siebel Tools. For example, if the Siebel Tools language mode is German, then Siebel Tools displays the following value in the Current String Value property for the SBL_ACCOUNTS-0910145428-0HN symbolic string: Kunde
If you modify the Siebel Tools language mode to English, then it displays the following value in the Current String Value property: Accounts
Although Siebel Tools calculates the value that it displays in this property, you can edit this value. If you edit the value in the Current String Value property, then Siebel Tools modifies the value that the String Value property contains. This is a property of the child symbolic string locale for the language mode that is currently active in Siebel Tools. |
