Report Explorer entry. When you use a domain terminology in a
report, Report Expert uses the terminology's strings instead of the
default strings. Strings that appear in the report but are not in the
terminology use the default values.

Each terminology has a culture property (or language). While each
terminology has a default culture property, it can have multiple
culture properties. Each culture is specific to a language and consists
of a copy of each of the strings in the terminology. You must
translate the strings into the language of the culture using the

Terminology Editor. When a user displays a report in Report
Expert, the user’s Internet Explorer Language setting determines if a
terminology culture is used to display the fixed strings in the report.
For example, let’s say you create a

Bottling terminology. The Bottling

terminology has a default culture property (English). In the

Bottling

terminology, you then create an additional culture property

(French). Your Report Expert users would have the following
terminologies:

Item

Description

Default terminology In English. For any report using the Default terminology, users will

see the default terminology (in English culture terms).

Bottling terminology In French and English (the default). For any report using the

Bottling terminology, what users will see depends on their Internet

Explorer language setting. For example, all users who have a French
Internet Explorer language setting will see the terms defined in the

Bottling terminology French culture. The rest of the users will see
the terms defined in the Bottling terminology.

To create a new domain terminology:

1. Under Terminology Editor, in the Terminology list, select a

domain terminology.
The terms from the domain terminology appear in the
terminology editor table.
