certain report cannot detect ApplicationResources.properties files

[JessicaWong]

Hi All,

In Plateau Report Designer, I have some custom reports cannot detect the ApplicationResources.properties file, preventing the selection of label keys for the label column, while others work without issues. Kindly refer to attached screenshot where you can see ApplicationResources.properties file but the Brose button is still greyed out.

Has anyone come across a similar issue and could kindly share how you resolved it?

Kindly help, thank you!

Best, Jessica

Jessica,

If you would like to use the browse label, you need to first Export Labels from SuccessFactors. Save the file to the same folder where your report design file is stored. The label export will be a .txt file and you need to change the extension to .properties. Then you need to click on the Outline view, select the .rptdesign file > Click on Properties > Resources > Add file and select the label export properties file. Once this is done, the Browse button will be available and you can select a label.

Regards,
Karl

Hi Karl,

Thank you for your detailed instructions—it worked like a charm!

Additionally, I discovered another solution by modifying the .rptdesign XML as follows:

<simple-property-list name="includeResource">
<value>ApplicationResources</value>
</simple-property-list>

Thank you again!

Best, Jessica
