Creating a String
To add a string to a string organizer, use the following procedure:
1. Open the information page of the relevant string organizer in edit mode.
2. Click the Create a new entry icon on the Available for selection list.
The New Entry window opens.
3. Enter the following properties:
Key—The internal name of the string. This value must be unique. This is a required field.
Value—The value of the string, as it should appear in the UI. This is a required field.
Comment—Any useful information about the string.
4. Click OK to create the new string, and return to the information page of the string organizer in edit mode. Alternatively, click Apply to create the new string, and refresh the New Entry window to create another string.
The new string is added to the Available for selection list.
You can subsequently edit the properties of this string using the View and Edit Entry Properties action.
5. Click Done to save the changes and return to view mode. Click Save to save the changes, but remain in edit mode.

The following scenario is applicable when editing the properties of a string originally created using a resource bundle. The internal name of a string might contain one or more spaces or special characters. However, because spaces and special characters are not allowed in the internal name, they are replaced with underscores in the Key box in the View and Edit Entry Properties window. Additionally, the prefix “Transformed_” is added to indicate that it is updated. The original internal name is displayed in the Alias box.
When using such strings in the custom code, always use the original internal name.
