Configuring Global NLS Settings

Global NLS Settings control whether to use only NLS and whether to enable NLS editing.

About this task

BTT supports NLS in many places, such as widget properties, ECA rules, Condition States and mappings expressions. And in default situation, manually inputting text is also supported. When selecting NLS elements, the editing options are enabled. For usability, this setting could control whether to use only NLS or also allow manually inputted text and whether to enable NLS editing or not.

Procedure

  1. Force NLS Only
    • Checked: User will not be able to enter any text value manually in the XUI Editor. The tooling constant of type “String” will continue to be available in all editors (including ECA). The BTT validation should report through “Warnings” all the text values that are not NLS labels properly (even if they had been input when “NLS Only” was disabled.
    • Unchecked: User will be able to enter any text value manually in the XUI Editor.
  2. Enable NLS Editing
    • Checked: the “Add”, “Remove” and “Edit” buttons of the NLS Editor are enabled. This configuration is to make NLS files editable.
    • Unchecked: the “Add”, “Remove” and “Edit” buttons of the NLS Editor will be disabled. This configuration is to make NLS files read-only and the editor is just to select NLS elements.
