Understanding the Spell Check Feature

The PeopleSoft Application Designer spell check feature checks the spelling for user-facing labels and text in projects and legacy data. Use this feature before building your application. The spell check feature verifies spelling for these items:

• Message Catalog entries.

• Page definitions (label text).

• Translate (XLAT) tables.

• Component definitions (tab and menu labels).

• Portal registry (labels and attribute labels).

• Record field labels.

Spell Check Results

The system logs spell check results on the Spell Check tab in the PeopleSoft Application Designer output window. The text Begin Spell Check always appears as the first line on the tab. The first line for each spell check category indicates the total number of entries that were checked for the project. The last line in the output window indicates the total misspelled words encountered during the check.

For each spell check category the results may read differently. This table describes how to read the spell check results for each category:
