Field	Use
Display Name	Enter the name that appears in Design Studio editors and in UIM. Design Studio supports multiple languages for this field. The field adjacent to Display Name displays your list of languages. You can define a display name for any language you select from the list. If your preferences are set up to work in one language only, the system displays only the [default] option. See “Defining Language Preferences" for more information.

Additionally, system-provided specifications can be selected as a specification option on an item in a configuration specification. Note: You must import the ora_uim_basespecifications cartridge (which includes the specifications for extension entities) before you define characteristics for the extension entities. For information about the ora_uim_basespecifications cartridge, see UIM Cartridge Guide.
