Editing and localizing the view display name and description

On the Data Views page, when you select a view from the view list, the view details include the Display name and Default view description fields.

The display name and description are used when showing the list of available views to assign to a component.

For custom views, you can create localized versions of the name and description.

Base views use the name and description of the data set. To edit or localize the name and description of a base view, you edit the data set.

Linked views use automatically generated names and descriptions.

To edit and localize the view display name and description for a custom data view:

1. Copy a base view if you haven't already. This is your custom data view.
2. To edit the default display name and description:
   1. In the Display name field, type the display name for the view.
   2. In the Default view description field, type a description of the view.
3. To localize the view display name and description, click the localize icon next to either field.
4. To localize the view display name:
   1. On the Configure Locale Options dialog, click the Display Name tab.

      The Default display name field contains the default name. If you edit the name here, it will be reflected on the main Views page.

   2. From the locale list, select a locale that you want to provide a version of the display name for.
   3. To use the default display name for the selected locale, leave the Use default value check box selected.
   4. To provide a localized display name, deselect the check box. In the field, type the localized name.
5. To localize the view description:
   1. On the Configure Locale Options dialog, click the Description tab.

      The Default description text area contains the default description. If you edit the description here, it is reflected on the main Views page.

   2. From the locale list, select a locale that you want to provide a version of the description for.
   3. To use the default description for the selected locale, leave the Use default value check box selected.
   4. To provide a localized description, deselect the check box. In the text area, type the localized description.
6. After providing all of the localized versions of the name and description, click Apply.
7. To save the changes to the view, click Save View.
