Editing an existing key-value pair in a lexicon module

This procedure shows how to change the alarm module Priority key value from “Priority” to “Importance”.
  1. In the Lexicon Report view, select the “en” lexicon in the left pane, which populates the right pane with the different modules in which you can change or add lexicon keys.
     NOTE: If the English (en) lexicon is not listed, you can add it by following the procedure for “Editing the default English (en) lexicon” on page 1-8. 
  2. Double-click the alarm module, to load a list of existing key-value pairs in the Lexicon Editor view and scroll (or Search) to find the Priority key.
  3. In the Value field enter: Importance and click the Update Value button to replace the previous value.
  4. Click the Save Image button on the toolbar.
    This creates (or updates) the alarm.lexicon file under your !lexicon/en folder.
  5. Restart Workbench, open a station and right-click a writable point to issue actions. The new default value, Importance, replaces the old default value, Priority.
 NOTE: If working on a Supervisor (hosting a station), note that following a station restart, such lexicon changes become effective defaults to web browser clients connecting to the station.Note also that any “display name” changes for slots on a component override any lexicon values, including any modified in this manner. For example, if a BooleanWritable has the Display Name of its “active” action slot edited to “Start Pump”, that command text will always appear when issuing this action, whether from client browser access or from Workbench access.
