Configure prefixes that identify types in rate routine steps

About this task

For some instruction and operand types, you can add or change the prefix that appears in the rate routine step. For example, in the default configuration, table: precedes the name of the rate table in a step. When changing the prefix, be aware that the prefix takes up space in the rate routine step.

In the default configuration, Studio includes display keys for prefixes on properties on the cost, function, rate table, and variable types.

To change the type prefix for properties on the cost, functions, rate tables, and variables:

Procedure

  1. In Studio, localize the display key as described in the Globalization Guide.

    For each type, the following table contains the name of the display key, the default prefix, alternate prefix, and the unicode value of the alternate prefix. The alternate prefix is provided as a suggestion only. You can define the prefix to a string of your choice. You can enter the unicode character directly into the Studio editor.

    v:

    If you add a variable prefix, the prefix appears for user defined variables and multiple factor variables.

  2. In PolicyCenter, navigate to a rate routine to view the new prefix.
