registerWidgetdefdesc input file

If your Management Center implementation supports more than one language, you can load the display name and description for a widget in each additional supported language by using a registerWidgetdefdesc input file. This input file includes a subset of the columns in the registerWidgetdef input file so that the display name and description can be loaded separately.

Tip: Alternatively, you can load the display name and description in multiple languages in the same registerWidgetdef input file that you use to register the widget. For an example, see Sample: Loading Commerce Composer widget descriptive information in multiple languages.

You do not need to use this input file if you are registering a widget in only the default language for a store. This language is the language that is specified in the business context of the environment configuration file. In that case, you need only the registerWidgetdef input file, which also contains the display name and description columns.

For a container, you do not typically need to use this input file because information about a container is not displayed in Management Center.

For a sample that demonstrates how to use this input file, see Sample: Loading Commerce Composer widget descriptive information in multiple languages.

Definitions

UniqueID

(Integer) The internal reference number for the widget definition, for example, 10001. This number is generated when you register the widget. Either this field or WidgetDefIdentifier field (see next column) is required.

Note: The sample CSV file does not include this column; the sample demonstrates the use of the WidgetDefIdentifier to uniquely identify a widget.
