Changes to admin data localization

Typically, admin data is customer-defined entities with fields that contain names or phrases that need to be shown in the user’s language. For example, the description and subject fields on an activity pattern are administration data.

You enter localized admin data directly within Guidewire PolicyCenter, in a table that is visible at the bottom of the screen. This table contains a row for each enabled language in the application. The row contains, by language, fields for each element on that screen that you can localize. PolicyCenter only shows the table if there is more than one defined language in the application.

In previous releases, only a limited number of screens in the base configuration contained the localization table. PolicyCenter 8.0 provides the ability to localize a much larger set of administration data. It is also possible for you to configure the application and add or remove localization tables by updating the data model and the appropriate PCF file.

Guidewire builds the localization table as a single PCF. PolicyCenter includes this PCF (LocalizedValuesDV.pcf) in each parent PCF with localizable data.
