About display names

BOM line properties have both display names and system names, and the system names are in the format bl_xxx. You should define a display name for a system name if you add a custom business object type to your system.

Define a display name for a BOM line using the BOMLineFormConfiguredProperties and BOMLineRevFormConfiguredProperties global constants and compound properties available on the BOMLine business object in the Business Modeler IDE.

Caution: Siemens Digital Industries Software recommends that you do not include a dot (.) in the property name. Such names cannot be edited in Structure Manager.

Note: In previous versions, the administrator could create or change display names by editing the /textserver/xml files in the lang folder, for example, system_property_names_locale.xml. Display names are no longer stored in XML files, and you can now only create or edit them in the Business Modeler IDE.
