User Preferences and Localization

The below options are available in User Preferences, which is accessed from the Backstage View.


  • General – Commonly used functions such as running inquiries automatically, export defaults, default Excel file format, and the color of piano lines.
  • Warning Settings – Enable/disable all warning settings within Hubble.
  • Warnings – Set warning settings for specific filters and Query Assists.
  • Localization – Set a user-specific language and/or a specific date and number format to be used.
  • Change Password – Change your Hubble password.

    Note that this option does not apply to JD Edwards World users; these users must always use their World password.

General Tab

The General tab contains these options:

  • Export to Excel: The default Excel file extension is .xlsx, however this can be changed to .xls using this option.
  • Piano Lines: Set the color of the piano lines when they are used within a report.

Localization Tab

Hubble refers to “language translation” as “localization”, and there are two types of localization that can be done within the application:

  1. JDE Language Support – Customers using the JD Edwards ERP system have the ability to use any of the alternate language captions stored in JDE. The JDE default language is read from the User Display Preferences (F00921) Table, however it can be overridden on an inquiry by inquiry basis by changing the settings in this dialog.
  2. User Interface (UI) Language – For ERP system users, this is the language used in the user interface or display in Hubble.

Localization Configuration

In the User Preferences dialog, there are 2 main sections: Localization, which applies to JD Edwards ERP users only, and User Interface, which applies to all ERP system users:


Localization Section (JD Edwards ERP Users Only)

Only JD Edwards ERP users will see this section in User Preferences.

Enable Localization on all reports: When checked, this means that the language specified above is used for all inquiries and you cannot override the language on an inquiry-specific basis within Inquiry Options on the Home menu. This may also be set using the Administration tool.

Use the radio buttons to select the option that designates the JD Edwards Database language translation to be used in your inquiries:

  1. Use JDE Default Language – Set by default, this setting uses the language as set in your JD Edwards system.
  2. Use User Interface Language - This setting uses the language as defined in the User Interface Language Section in this dialog.
  3. Specify Language - This setting uses the language specified in the drop-down menu to the right of the option.

Note:

  • The Enable Localizationon all reports preference and the Specify Language option are applied to both Hubble Desktop and Hubble Web.
  • The Use User Interface Language option is only applicable Hubble Desktop.

User Interface Section (All ERP System Users)

This section is for all ERP system users and applies to language translation to the Hubble user interface.

Use the drop-down menus to select the user interface language and dates and numbers to be used within Hubble. The application must be restarted once a different option is selected.

Note: The default page size for PDFs is dependent on the Dates and Numbers format selected in either here or in Windows settings (based on the selected Dates and Numbers option).
