PCFMode attribute of the NameFormat element

Attribute PCFMode, on the NameFormat element in file localization_localeCode.xml, determines which modal version of the name input PCF files PolicyCenter uses for specific countries. The name input PCF files are GlobalContactNameInputSet and GlobalPersonNameInputSet.

For example, for Japan, localzation_jp_JP.xml file specifies the PCF mode as follows:

<NameFormat PCFMode="Japan" .../>

If the user chooses Japan as the region, PolicyCenter uses one of the following PCF files as appropriate to display name information:

  • GlobalContactNameInputSet.Japan
  • GlobalPersonNameInputSet.Japan

If a localization_localeCode.xml file does not define the PCFMode attribute, or there is no localization_localeCode.xml file for a region, PolicyCenter uses the default modal version of the name PCF file. In the base configuration, the default version is suitable for many countries.

Class NameLocaleSettings defines the valid values that you can use for PCFMode. If you want to add a PCF mode, you must define it in the NameLocaleSettings class. The default base configuration definition is:

private static final var validPCFModes : Set<String> = { "default", "Japan", "", null }
