Processing Option Glossary Description

After you name a processing option data item, you must specify a glossary description. Follow these guidelines when you enter the glossary description for a processing option data item:

  • Use the same text for the data item description field as the processing option title on the processing option tab form.

  • Capitalize the first letter of each word, such as G/L Date (alias GLD in the data dictionary).

  • Leave room for translation of the description by using only 70 percent of the allowed character space.

    This technique allows for up to 30 percent expansion in translation.

  • Number the processing option on the tab on which the processing option data item is used, but never refer to a processing option by its number in the description in the data dictionary.

    Note: You must enter a glossary. Do not simply enter a period in the Description field.
