Globally Define Tildes

Set global tilde text replacements for use across all report publications.

Global Tildes

A tilde defined globally within MCS can be used anywhere in the report publication system. At the time of publication, the tilde is translated to its assigned value. Tilde values are flexible — they can be overridden at runtime for specific publications if needed.

Defining Global Tildes

Global tildes are defined in the General Configuration page. Click the General Config link in the administration section of the MCS main page.

The required format is ~tildename~=tilde value. The example above shows a tilde named copyright being given a value of Visualware Inc.

Once defined, ~copyright~ can be used in any area that relates to report publications and it will adopt the assigned value. It is also possible to override a global tilde when setting up a specific report publication.
