Report Language Resource Files Properties

All report language resource files can be opened in the Resource Editor, and have the same basic category structure:

For more information about using the Resource Editor, see Opening Resource Files in the Editor.

The root node of each file contains the following properties:

• Values Mapping Category
  The Values Mapping category contains a list of keywords values (such as Undefined, Yes, False, or None) for object properties displayed in cards, checks, and lists. You must enter a translation in the Value column for each keyword in the Name column:
• Report Titles Category
  The Report Titles category contains translations for all the possible report titles that appear in the Available Items pane in the Report Editor, those that are generated with the Report Wizard, and other miscellaneous text items.
• Object Attributes Category
  The Object Attributes category contains all the metaclasses, collections and attributes available in the PowerDesigner metamodel, organized in tree form:
• Profile/Linguistic Variables Category
  The Linguistic Variables category contains templates, which specify grammar rules to help build the report item templates.
• Profile/Report Item Templates Category
  The Report Item Templates category contains a set of templates that, in conjunction with the translations that you will provide for metaclass, attribute and collection names, are evaluated to automatically generate all the possible report titles for report items (book, list, card etc.)
• All Classes Tab
  The All Classes tab lists all the metaclasses available in the Object Attributes category on the General tab but the flat structure makes it more convenient to work with.
• All Attributes and Collections Tab
  The All Attributes and Collections lists all the collections and attributes available in the Object Attributes category on the General tab, but the flat structure makes it more convenient to work with.
• All Report Titles Tab
  The Report Titles tab lists all the report titles and other miscellaneous text items available in the Report Titles category on the General tab, but the flat structure makes it more convenient to work with.
