Linked Texts


A Texts entity can contain any number of texts, each of which may be translated into multiple languages.

They can be added to Forms by selecting the Texts entity in the Texts tab of the Form Properties dialog. Once added, any text on any Control on any Page of the Form can change its Text Reference to a text in any Texts entity added to the Form.

Texts entities can be created by right-clicking on the Entities tree and selecting New > Texts.

New texts can be added to a Texts entity in its editor, and existing texts can be edited, translated or deleted.
