Fields that cannot be localized by using Data Modeler

Data Modeler cannot be used to localize all fields and business objects. For example, Data Modeler cannot localize locator fields, project names, or smart sections with live links. You cannot select the Localizable property for these fields. Instead, the value of Localizable property is derived from other sources.

Table 1. Fields that cannot be localized from Data Modeler
Field type Source of Localizable Property What happens during business object publication if field is localizable? Source of localized data
Locator text Source field of the locator field. For example, the triNameTX field of the triFloor business object is the source field of the triParentFloorTX locator field of the triSpace business object. A column is added into the language table, for example, the triParentFloorTX column of the L_triSpace language table. Language table of the locator field, for example, L_triSpace.
Record name (system read-only) Business object. If one of the fields in the business object name mapping is localizable, the name field is also localizable. A static column, SPEC_NAME, is created in the language table. SPEC_NAME column of language table.
Path (system read-only)
  • Non-hierarchical module: Its business object name mapping. For example, the triIdTX field of the triCapitalProject business object.
  • Hierarchical module: Its base business object name mapping. For example, the triNameTX field of the Geography base business object.
A static column, SYS_PATH, is created in the language table. SYS_PATH column of language table.
Project name (system read-only) Project business object Name mapping No column is created in the language table. SPEC_NAME column of the language table of the project record.
Classification Root classification business object name mapping No column is created in the language table. SPEC_NAME column of the language table of the classification record.
Business object Business object name mapping No column is created in the language table. SPEC_NAME column of the language table of the business object.
Smart section – Live link Source field No language table is created for this type of smart section. Language table of the referenced or linked record.
Smart section – Non-live link Source field A language table is created for this type of smart section. Intermediate or smart section language table.
