Defining a label for the new menu item

About this task

To specify the labels that Experience Portal will display to the end user, edit the display menu.properties file.

Procedure

In an ASCII text editor, open the display menu.properties file in the TomcatHome/lib/extensions/UniqueDirectoryName/messages directory, where TomcatHome is the directory in which the Tomcat servlet engine software is installed and UniqueDirectoryName is the directory defined as described in Defining a unique extensions directory. The default is /opt/Tomcat/tomcat.
Add a line entry for each menu item you added to the configuration menu.properties file, as shown below:
myMenuItem=itemDisplayText
where:
- myMenuItem is the menu item identifier specified in the menu.xml configuration file.
- itemDisplayText is the text that the EPM displays in the main menu.
Save and close the file.

Example

For example, if you added menu items menuItemMyStandardReport and menuItemMyCustomReport to the Reports menu group in the configuration menu.xml file, you would specify:

menuItemMyStandardReport=My Standard Report
menuItemMyCustomReport=My Custom Report
