State Override for Type
Once a type is created, you can set overrides for the description attributes for all states referenced by that type. Overriding the attribute allows you to set a unique description that supersedes the global setting used by PTC RV&S. You can have localized overridden descriptions based on the PTC-supported locales.
Overrides can be set for all states referenced by that type. However, only the Description state attribute is available for localized override.
