Dictionary and Theme

ITSM Designer - Combodo's customers only

Dictionary Editor

All the dictionary entries can be edited globally using the tab “Dictionary” under the main tab “Editors”:

Dictionary Editor default screen

Search is case sensitive!

Use the form to search for the dictionary entries to be edited. You can search on the code of the entry (for example Class:Person) or its content, or both. If both criteria (code and content) are supplied, only entries matching both criterias are displayed.

For each entry matching the search criteria, several text input areas are displayed, one for each language enabled for your licence. Should you need more languages, please contact Combodo support to have them enabled for your licence.

Modify entries

Dictionary Edition Modify

To apply your modifications to the dictionary, either press the validation mark next to each modified entry, or use the “Apply All” button at the top.

To prevent the loss of modifications, the “Search” button is disabled as long as there are modified entries. To re-enable it, either apply or cancel all modifications.
When an entry does not exist in the dictionary, it is displayed as an input area with a yellow background. If you supply a value and press apply, the entry will be created. Be cautious since the current version of the editor does not support deleting an entry, and depending on the type of entry, an empty string may not produce the same result as an non-existing entry.

Missing translation

You can now search for entries which would not be translated:

Dictionary missing translation

New entry

If the dictionary entry you are looking for, does not exist (for example a new entry from the XML portal) then you can create it with the “New” button.

Dictionary Editor New

Again to prevent loss of on-going modification, the “New” button isn't displayed as long as you have modified entries.

Dictionary Editor New Popup

If you enter a unique entry code which exist already, your entries will overwrite the existing one without warning
Check the entry code naming conventions before adding new entry code

Delete/Remove entry

If you want to delete/remove an entry:

  1. you just have to search for them,
  2. select the one to delete,
  3. press the button.

Themes editor

In conjunction with the new capability to customize iTop console colors, we have added the capability to do this in the Designer

The various themes includes in iTop are proposed for customization:

The customization tools works exactly as the Portals editor

Note: In 2.7 each of your iTop instances can use a different theme
In 3.0, the theme becomes a user preference
