Texts

Each project has its own cross-reference. When scanning the project, the cross-reference in a client project searches for uses of client-side and server-side texts in the client project (in the design area), e.g. in the "Localisable text" property of the control elements. The cross-reference of a server project searches for uses of server-side texts in the server project, e.g. in the Text parameter of the alarms.

The cross-reference checks for each use whether the respective text has been defined and, conversely, whether a defined text has been used.

After scanning the project, the results are displayed in a table in the "Texts" view in the cross-reference node of the respective project.

The table contains the following columns:

Text name

Specifies the full identifier of the text, but without specifying the text type. The text type is specified in the Text typecolumn to enable the results to be sorted by text type.

Text type

Specifies the text type.

No text

A checkbox activated here indicates an incomplete translation. No text is specified in at least one of the languages.

Status

Indicates the status of use: either Correct, Warning or Error.

Status Description

Detailed information on the status.

Status Description	Description of the	Status
Correct	The use of the definition is error-free.	Correct
Defined, but no use found	The text has been defined but not used. Important: If the cross-reference is not used for a text, this may have the following reasons: The text is used in the code. Code files (*.js) are not analysed by the cross-reference. Text names that are only obtained at runtime, e.g. from a data source, cannot be recognised by the cross-reference. Before you delete a text, check whether it is used in the code.	Warning
Used, but not defined	The text was used but not defined in the project file. Incorrect text output must be expected during the course of the application.	Error

Description of the

Status

Correct

The use of the definition is error-free.

Correct

Defined, but no use found

The text has been defined but not used.

Important: If the cross-reference is not used for a text, this may have the following reasons:

The text is used in the code. Code files (*.js) are not analysed by the cross-reference. Text names that are only obtained at runtime, e.g. from a data source, cannot be recognised by the cross-reference.
Before you delete a text, check whether it is used in the code.

Warning

Used, but not defined

The text was used but not defined in the project file. Incorrect text output must be expected during the course of the application.

Error

System

Specifies the name of the system module (e.g. "Variables" or "Alarms") in which the definition is used. If "Design" is specified as the system, the definition is used in the design area.

Used in

Specifies the type of definition (e.g. alarm) where the text is used in a parameter, or specifies the relative path of the page where the text is used.
