Change the column heading of an existing Management Center list
view.
About this task
To change a column heading in an existing list
view within the Management Center:
Procedure
- Open
WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer
view.
- In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand , where Management_Center_component is
the name of the tool you want to customize.
- Identify the properties file that contains the column name
that you want to change. Do not change the original properties
file; for example, the CatalogLOB_en_US.properties file. Only view
this file for reference.
The original properties file
contains a list of keys for all the user interface elements within
the Management Center for the tool you have selected. The keys that
contain the text "ColumnHeader" define the list view column headers.
Within the properties file, identify the key-column name combination
that you want to change. For example, if you want to change the productPartnumber_ColumnHeader=
Part Number to be productPartnumber_ColumnHeader=
SKU Number, copy this key.
- In the Enterprise Explorer view, expand , and create
a extension/Management_Center_component package,
where Management_Center_component is
the name of the tool you want to customize.
- Expand src > extension
> Management_Center_component,
and create a new properties file with the same name as the properties
file you want to change (for example, CatalogLOB_en_US.properties).
- Open the extensions properties file and paste the key into
this file, using the new column name. For example, if you want to
change the column name "Part Number" to "SKU Number", then include
productPartnumber_ColumnHeader=
SKU Number in the extensions properties file.
