Localizing forms with the Field Value inspector tool

Use the Field Value inspector tool to find, review, and update field value rules in a language-specific RuleSet that are associated with labels, captions, messages, ToolTips, and other text elements on user forms and portal displays.

Typically, use the Localization wizard first. Then use the Field Value Inspector tool to review results in the context of the application being localized. You can review, revise, or add field value rules to provide a more effective and more complete localization.

On the Developer Toolbar (at the bottom of Designer Studio), click Live UI. In the Live UI panel on the right, click the Localize tab. A collapsible list displays the list of field values.

To enable the Field Value Inspector, add the pxFieldValueInspector privilege to the access role of the access group that will be using it.
