Published Dictionary

Published Dictionary terms are those words or terms that have been published by an administrator for use across a company or facility. These items will be available in the Dictionary dialog but will contain a lock symbol to the right of them.

Published Dictionary terms CAN be recorded for pronunciation. Double click on the term and record the pronunciation by clicking the Record button in the dialog. The Name field and the Category buttons will be disabled for editing.

When a dictionary term, word, etc. has been published, it is locked from both editing and deleting. Only an administrator can remove published items.

Note

For some published items such as Dictionary Items, Device Button mappings, and Data Set Items it is possible to modify them to a certain degree, For example, you can give your own pronunciation to a dictionary item. In some cases, you might want to revert that modification to the previous state published state. You can now do this via the “revert” context menu item available via right click.
