Change default instruction text in connector

Hello,

I am creating documentation using Microsoft Dynamics connectors and would like to edit the sentence structure of default instruction text.

For example, when recording a process, the standard text would be “Click the button New”. I would like it to automatically be written as “Click the New button”, which is more natural and grammatically correct. Currently I am spending a lot of time editing every step to correct this type of phrasing, but would rather apply a change at the template, or via the connector if possible.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Sure,

 

the reason is that we use US english as our base language, and only if there is a variation in another english language you will see it.

 

Add english US to your project and you will see it :)

    Hi Jim,

     

    It is a bit difficult to accomplish.

     

    The structure is:

     

    mouse action + type of item + name of item

     

    examples:

    click on the button new

    double-click on the dropdown menu customers

    right-click on the navigation item sales order

     

    i can show you how you could accomplish this, but that doesn’t mean it will not give you problems down the line with unforeseen consequences to some sentences:

     

    old

    click on

     

    new

     

    old

     

    new

    Thansk Morten!

    This makes sense. However, when I go into the Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations connector in Settings > Language settings > Language template editor, I don’t see any ‘old’ text.. All fields appear blank. Am I looking in the right place?

    If I could see the ‘old’ text, like you show in your screenshots I would be happy to make and try the respective updates needed to correct the phrasing.

    Example screenshot of what I see. No matter what I select on the left hand side, I fail to see any example text in the respective language boxes.

    Thank you - this gave me the ability to make the required changes to the connector, and the recorder is now functioning as intended.

    Note: This activity did require me to make around 30 separate line changes to adjust the connector for proper English phrasing (Action + Name of + Target). If possible, I imagine other English speaking users would also benefit if this formatting could be applied as the English default in all other connectors; especially as the steps I took were very much prone to error.

    In the meantime, I am happy.
