Literal Paragraphs

• This table stores paragraph text records by locale.

• It is strongly recommended that the text of the existing generic literals not be modified or deleted, as this may produce undesirable results throughout the application. Create new literals instead via the Literals resource.

• Once literals have been created and text has been assigned to each, the next step would be to launch the Refresh Data Dictionary and Literals resource.

Note: Literals of type 20 - Paragraph Text are not loaded into memory, as are the other literals defined in the Literal Texts resource. These literals are retrieved by various applications on a case-by-case basis.

The following list defines every field in the literal paragraphs (md_literal_paragraph) table in alphabetical order:

• Created By - displays the name of the user who created the record you are viewing or maintaining. May not be overridden.

• Created On - displays the date on which the record that you are creating or maintaining was created. May not be overridden. May also represent the creation date of the records you are attempting to retrieve.

• Literal Key - the foreign key to the literal entity. Only literals of type 20 - Paragraph Text can be selected.

• Locale Key - the foreign key to the locale entity.
  • Default value set to {session.locale}.

  • Currently, PointForce iTopia supports en_CLIENT.

• Modification Counter - this field is not maintainable. The date and time the record was last modified.

• Modified By - this field is not maintainable. The user or system process that last modified the record.

• Modified On - this field is not maintainable. The date on which the record was last modified.

• Paragraph Text - the actual text for the literal. You can edit this field as required. The following placeholders are available:

  Placeholder	Description
  %n	Placeholder where n represents an integer value indicating the position of the passed in argument. For example, Page %1 of %2 would indicate that %1 is the placeholder for the first argument and %2 is the placeholder for the second argument. Up to a maximum of nine placeholders may be used for a literal string. They must start at 1 and increment by 1 (no gaps in between).
  %R	Indicates a line feed.

• Version Counter - this field is not maintainable. The total number of times that the record was modified.
