Creating Vocabulary Overrides

Access the Interactive Vocabulary Overrides form.

1. To work with a language other than the domestic language, on Interactive Vocabulary Overrides, complete the Language field, and then click Find.

2. Enter a language code.

   Leave this field blank if you are creating vocabulary overrides in the domestic language.

3. Double-click the + button next to one of the forms listed in the detail area.

   The form expands, displaying the types of text that are available on that form, such as find/browse text, control text, grid column text, exit text, and text variables.

4. Double-click the + button for one of the types of text.

   The type of text expands, displaying all of the text that you can override.

5. To create a vocabulary override, change the text in the Description column for a particular item.

   Click OK when you finish creating overrides.

   Note: Some descriptions for data items contain carriage returns and new-line characters. To create a vocabulary override for these descriptions (indicated with an icon to the left of the row), select the data item row and, from the Row menu, select Extended Text Revision.

6. On the Extended Text Revision form, change the text in the field and click OK.

The Vocabulary Overrides application essentially checks out this application in OMW so that while you are working on the application in Vocabulary Overrides, no one can check the application out. After you finish creating overrides, Vocabulary Overrides erases the checkout in OMW.

To actually see the description change applied to the application, you must first retrieve the specifications for the application to the local client machine and run it. Do this by clicking either the Check Out or Get button in OMW.
