Dialog Replacement texts

Use this dialog to define a table with replacement texts. Based on such a table, the values of a property (block property or formatted property in a report) can be replaced by other texts. This way, numeric values, Boolean values (True / False, Yes / No, etc.) or monolingual texts can be replaced by multilingual, meaningful texts.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

In the table, you define the texts with which to replace the values of a property.

Operator:

In this column you choose a comparison operator for comparing the value of a property with the source text.

Note:

If you select the "Regular expression" entry here, the value is compared with the source text on the basis of a regular expression. (This setting should be used only by advanced users who are familiar with the use of regular expressions.)

Source text:

Here you enter the comparison value that is to be compared to the selected property. It is case-sensitive.

Output text:

Here you enter the text that is to replace the value of the selected property.

Note:

The texts in the fields Source text and Output text can be entered as multilingual texts. In the case of automatic translation (Translate on input option is activated in the translation settings), these texts are not considered; they can be only translated manually (Popup menu > Translate).

Continue:

Activate this check box if several regular expressions are to be executed consecutively. By this means you can, for example, replace several blanks consecutively.
If the regular expression is only to be executed once, leave the check box deactivated (default setting).

Popup menu:

The popup menu provides - depending on the field type (e.g. date, integer, multilingual) - the following menu items that are, depending on the situation, available for influencing the table or editing the values in the fields. You can find an overview of these popup menu items in the section Popup menu items.
