4.2.5 Localising Data Point Icons

The Symbol ID items do not contain any text to translate and might even be ig-

nored during the first steps of localisation. However, later on, it may turn out to be

useful for modifying the icon associated to the data point. Although the icons may

be customised for each project in Composer, the possibility to change some of

them here allows defining general icons that will then apply to all the subsequent

projects.

Note that these icons will appear in the MM8000 pages and graphic maps when-

ever the associated Data Point is shown. They are also used by Composer in the

system structure tree.

The user interface for this function is very much the same as for the property texts.

Data Points are organised in groups related to the type of units or subsystems. You

will have to expand each of them, select the line and then click and modify the

value in the ‘Localised (current version)’ column.

Icon localisation checklist

To localise icons, you have to:

1. Select a group in the Name column.

2. Expand the sub-tree and select a Data Point.

3. Select the line named ‘Symbol ID’.

4. Click on the value in the ‘Localised (current version)’ column.

5. Select the new icon (Fig. 17).

6. Rep

eating the steps above for any other icon.
