Custom Dictionaries

Custom dictionaries can be created to change the standard Momentus Enterprise phrases that are used in back office and in the public-facing applications (Registration, Event Portal, Exhibitor Service Center, and so on). To create a custom dictionary, copy an Enterprise system dictionary and then update the phrases in the copied dictionary.

In this article:

Create a Custom Dictionary

  1. Navigate to the Dictionaries page and select the dictionary to copy.
  2. Right-click and select Copy Dictionary. The Copy Dictionary window opens.
  3. Enter the name of the dictionary into the New Title field.
  4. Click OK. 

Update the Phrases in a Dictionary

  1. Navigate to the Dictionaries page and select the dictionary to update.
  2. Right-click and select Find and Replace v30 Phrases. The Find and Replace v30 Phrases window opens.
  3. Use the filters to locate the desired dictionary phrase.
  4. For each dictionary phrase you want to change, enter the new phrase into the User Phrase field.
  5. Click Save.

You can now assign the dictionary to a user or an online configuration and the updated phrases are used.

Delete a Dictionary

Obsolete or unneeded dictionaries can be deleted. Before deleting a dictionary, verify the dictionary is not assigned to any users. Attempting to delete a dictionary still assigned to a user results in an error.

  1. Navigate to the Dictionaries page and select the dictionary to delete.
  2. Right-click and select Mark For Delete. The row displays a marked for delete icon and Save and Cancel buttons become available at the bottom of the page.
  3. Click Save.

Custom Dictionary Security

Changing dictionary phrases is controlled by the Allow Editing of Dictionary Phrases By Window system access privilege. Users and/or roles with the assigned privilege can change field names in the Edit Layout window. Those without the privilege cannot make such changes. If no users are assigned the privilege, it is considered inactive, and no users will be able to change the field names from the Edit Layout window.

This access privilege is a system access privilege and is accessed from the System Access Privileges page.
