The Add Labels feature allows you to modify the display names of Forms and form items.

Note
titlePrerequisites

When adding display names for a new language, a new entry (record) must be added for that language with the correct language ID (LANG_ID column) in the LANGUAGEMASTER table in the Canvas schema. For the changes to get applied, users must choose their primary language as the preferred language in the functional application, Modelhouse. A sample entry in the LANGUAGEMASTER table for the Arabic language is shown for reference:

APPLICATION_IDLANG_IDLANGUAGECREATED_DATECREATED_BYUPDATED_DATEUPDATED_BYDIRECTION

Adding an entry for the new language in the LANGUAGEMASTER table is mandatory, without which that language will not appear in the functional application (e.g. Preferences tab in Modelhouse).

To manage the display names of forms, perform the following steps.
