If checked, a table in the Stewardship Tier populates with phrases from the WebApp, such as column names and other translatable items. These are made available on the Catalog Page Phrases page to help the application developer find and translate all the phrases for the application.

Using this feature helps build a catalog for your WebApp so you can ship it empty and/or translate it.

NOTE: Syniti recommends that this feature be disabled as it has a large impact on performance.

Naming Options tab

Use this tab to Enforce Strict Naming.

Field

Description


Enforce Strict Naming

If enabled, the Stewardship Tier filters applicable list boxes based on the naming conventions listed on the Naming Conventions tab. For example, a WebApp has a page using the nwEmployee table. With Enforce Strict Naming enabled, all views registered to this page must contain the word Employee within the name of the view and with the proper naming convention prefix and suffix. For a Horizontal View, web is the prefix and Hor is the suffix. For a Vertical View, web is the prefix and Ver is the suffix.

Table Prefix Size

Displays the number of characters in the table name’s prefix for the WebApp for registration purposes. The prefix is not included as part of the table name for consideration with Enforce Strict Naming. For example, the tables in Northwind are prefixed with nw, xt or zt. The nw is ignored when filtering any views based for a page where the nwEmployee table is registered.

The default Table Prefix Size is 2.

Date Format Pattern

Displays the date format used for a column when the user selects “Formatted Date” in the Format list box on the Page Columns page Vertical View.

Time Format Pattern
