For example. Assuming a "Date" field containing the following date: 4/11/12, with this field
being added to the template using the Text Script Generator with the "Long Date" format. If the
locale is set to "en-US", the date appears on the page as April 11, 2012. Setting the locale to
fr-CA makes this text appear as 11 avril 2012. Setting it to zh-CN will print 2012 4 11 .
l
Use: Use the drop-down to select how the locale is set for the current record.
l
System Locale: Select to use the operating system's locale settings. This is set in
the "Region" settings of the control panel.
l
Explicit Locale: Select to specify a static locale which will remain static for this
template, whichever server the template is used on.
l
Data Field: Select to use a data field from the record. The locale will be record-
specific in this case.
l
Locale: Use the drop-down to select a specific locale. Only enabled when Explicit
Locale is selected above.
l
Data Field: Use the drop-down to select a field within the current data model that contains
the locale. This field must be a string and contain the exact locale to be used, such as
"en" or "fr-CA". It cannot be an alias such as "english" or "french". The locale supports
both ISO-639-1 alone ("en", "fr", etc) or ISO-639-1 followed by a 2-letter country code
("de-DE", "zh-CN", "fr-CA", "fr-FR", etc).
Preferences
The Preferences dialog is used to modify the general software preferences. Changes made in
this dialog affect the software globally, not individual templates and data mapping
configurations.
The Preferences dialog is separated into individual tabs, where each tabs controls certain
aspects of the software.
The General Preferences are as follows:
l
Always run in background: This option correlates with the "Always run in background"
option selectable in the "Document Boundaries Refresh" dialog and "Print via Print
Server" dialog. When either of these dialogs is used and the option is checked, it will also
be checked here. To prevent the refresh boundaries and print via print server dialogs to
automatically run as background, uncheck this option.
