Administration Mode

In Admin mode, content displayed in the UI (also known as System Strings) cannot be modified by users. The System Strings are available in different languages and are displayed based on user preferences.

Examples of System Strings

• Sign In and Terms and Condition pages
• Menus
• Alerts
• Errors

In contrast, user-created content (also known as Custom Strings) can be translated into different languages.

Examples of Custom Strings:

• Business Process (BP) name
• Data Element (DE) label
• Drop-down (pull-down) values
• Radio button
• Text in lines
• Navigation log names

System Strings are translated according to the language set in the User Preferences window.

Custom Strings are translated based on the specifications defined for the source string in the XLIFF file.

When System Strings and Custom Strings are combined (concatenated), such as in a form:

• The System String portion is translated according to user preferences.
• The Custom String portion is translated based on the XLIFF file specifications.

As a result, different fields within the same object may appear in different languages.

In general, translated Custom Strings are not displayed while in Admin mode, except in the following cases:

• Attribute forms

  If a translated Custom String exists for an attribute form, it is displayed in Admin mode.

  Example: If a DE named "Building Name" has a German translation, the details page displays the German value in Admin mode.

• Pages shared between User mode and Admin mode

  If translated Custom Strings are available, they are displayed in Admin mode and remain consistent when switching to User mode. This applies to:

  • Code-based Configurable Manager Sheet templates
  • Record-based Configurable Manager Sheet templates
  • Asset Class templates
  • Shell Dashboard templates
  • User Defined Report (UDR) templates
