How can I see all Label elements per Model?
And is it possible to search all AOT Labels, or a specific model Labels, by Label text? How?
1) Switch AOT to the model view, expand the model you're interested in and look at label files there. Double-click a label file to see its content. You can also open the underlying text file (it has a very simple structure).
2) Use "Find labels" (or something like that) under Dynamics 365 menu in Visual Studio. You could also text-based search in the underlaying text files.
Thank you Martin!
1) I noticed the underlying text file relative Uri in Model Store property, but how can I use it to extract the file?
2) Is it possible to filter by model, or display a model column perhaps in the results?
Hi Yiannis,
1) Can you explain what you want to achieve by extracting the file?
2) When you search for a label, you can't filter by model. You can't add new columns in the search results. Actually, it contains a label file name which belongs to a certain model.
Hello André,
I find it much more flexible to work with text editors vs. grids, for many different purposes.
One is, using the original en-us label file as a template for a different language translation. Another is, massive labels processing or even looking at similar words/phrases at once. And so one, and so forth.
The question is, can I extract it as a textfile from the model store? And how?
You posted the question in the Dynamics 365 Finance forum, so do assume it is indeed this version. In that case, you can use the Windows explorer and go to the model directory. In the next directories, you can find the plain text files:
K:\AosService\PackagesLocalDirectory\[ModelName]\[Model Name]\AxLabelFile\LabelResources\[language].
The K-drive is the Service volume on my VM. Note that you can't change the label files from the standard application. You can only add new languages in your own model or create label extensions in your own model.
You don't have to leave Visual Studio.
If you have a label file in a project (Solution Explorer), expand it to see the underlying text file (e.g. expand XYZ_en-us to see XYZ_en-us.label.txt). Right-click the file, click Open with... and select Source Code (Text) Editor. If you make it default, it'll be also used when opening label files from Application Explorer. This is the setup I use; I open the usual label editor only when needed, typically when I want to check label references.
