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.
