Prerequisites

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
MODELHOUSEar_SAARABIC2019-12-29MAKER

RTL

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 workspaces, perform the following steps in Workspace Designer. 

  1. On the home page of Canvas Studio, click Workspace Designer.



  2. Existing workspaces appear in the Workspace Designer. Let us use an existing workspace, CARD SUMMARY WORKSPACE.



  3. Click the Add Labels icon on the top right-side of the page.



    The Resource Bundle Entries page appears.



    The bundle name, entered in initial Workspace Designer screen appears automatically in the Bundle Name field and it cannot be edited. The Language drop-down list comprises of different languages and you can choose the language of your choice from the list. For new languages, refer the Prerequisites mentioned above in the procedure.

  4. Select a language from the Language drop-down list.

    The Workspace Labels, Sub-Workspace labels and Workspace Menu Labels tabs can be used to specify the content for the display names of workspaces, sub-workspaces and menus.



  5. Click Workspace Label tab. Then, click the Phrase for field to enter the workspace display name.



  6. Click the Sub Workspace Labels tab. Proceed to click the Phrase for field to enter the sub-workspace display name.



  7. Click the Workspace Menu Labels. To enter the display name for the workspace menu, click the Phrase for field and type the text of your choice in the field.



  8. After entering the display names for the respective fields, click Save.

    The Resource Bundle Data gets saved successfully. A confirmation message appears, as shown in the following screen shot.



  9. Click Save on the Workspace Designer page to save the changes.



    A confirmation message, indicating a successful save of the workspace, appears.
                                                                    

    To manage the display names of other workspaces, the same set of procedures can be followed to apply changes to the display names of various workspaces in Canvas Studio. 

    The display name of the sub-workspace is visible in the functional application, only if you select any one of the workspace layouts from Tabs, L-Menu and R-Menu. In case, if you select Stack, then the display name of the sub-workspace will remain invisible and it cannot be viewed in the functional application, Modelhouse.


    The following screen shot serves as a reference of the output and it appears in the functional application, Modelhouse.
