Administration mode
When in the Administration mode, the contents that appear in the Unifier application UI (also known as System Strings) cannot be modified by the Users. The System Strings are available in different languages, per user preferences.
Example
Sign In and Terms and Condition pages, Menus, Alerts, and Errors
In contrast, the content of the material created by the Users (also known as Custom Strings) can be translated into different languages.
Example
Business Process (BP) name, Data Element (DE) label, pull-down values, radio button, text in lines, navigation log names, and multi select values
System Strings are translated according to the user preferences, set in the User Preferences window.
Custom Strings are translated according to the specifications added to the source string, set in the XLIFF file.
When a combination of System and Custom strings are used (concatenation), for example, in a form, the System String portion is translated according to the user preferences, set in the User Preferences window, and the Custom String portion is translated according to the specifications added to the source string, set in the XLIFF file. As a result, it is possible to see an object having one field displayed in one language and another field displayed in another language.
In general, the translated Custom Strings cannot be displayed, or seen, while in the user is in Admin mode, except for:
- Translated Custom Strings for Attribute forms.
Example
If there is a Data Element (DE) called, "Building Name" in an Attribute form (Shell), and if the German translation of the DE exists, then the details page displays the German translation in Admin mode.
- Pages that are shared between the User mode and Admin mode.
Example
If translated Custom Strings are available, then the pages display the translated Custom Strings in Admin mode and are synchronized when switching to the User mode, as is the case with:
- Code-based Configurable Manager- sheet templates
- Record-based Configurable Manager - sheet templates
- Asset Class templates
- Shell Dashboard templates
- User Define Reports (UDRs) templates
