About this task

AA and AR are the default approval activity result codes that are used by workflows in IBM Verify Identity Governance. The user interface displays labels from the CustomLabels.properties file that are based on the property names. These property names are derived from the approval activity result codes. If you customize workflows to use customized approval activity result codes, you must add the appropriate properties to the CustomLabels.properties file. You customize the labels for the interface when you define these properties. For example, if you use the customized result code XYZ to represent approval, you must add properties with the names XYZ, XYZ_inProgress, and XYZ_complete to CustomLabels.properties file.
Note: If you do not add the values to the CustomLabels.properties file, the actual key names are displayed in the user interface. For example, XYZ_inProgress is displayed instead of "Processing".

Procedure

  1. Optional: Rename any of the following labels in the CustomLabels.properties file by changing the property value to the text that you want to display:
    Label Property value
    Approve AA
    Reject AR
    Approving AA_inProgress
    Rejecting AR_inProgress
    1. Open the CustomLabels.properties file in the IM_HOME/data directory, where IM_HOME is the Identity Manager installation directory.
    2. Change the value of the property to the text that you want to display for the label.
  2. Optional: Rename the either Approved or Rejected labels or both.
    1. Make a custom copy of the nls/ActivityListCard_en.properties.
    2. In a text editor, open the custom copy of ActivityListCard_en.properties file.
    3. Change the value of the property AA_Complete or AR_Complete to the text that you want to display for the label.

Results

The labels change to reflect the customization that you made in the CustomLabel.properties and ActivityListCard_en.properties files.
