Configuring Effectivity Prefixes

You can define whether the prefixes used for date effectivity and for all effectivity types other than dates are displayed.

See Properties for Effectivity Prefixes.

  1. Create or open the text file for customized properties. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
  2. To define a prefix for effectivity types other than dates, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxEffectivity.Display.AddEffectivityTypePrefix =

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      • true = Includes the prefix.
      • false = Omits the prefix.

      The default value is false.

      For example:

      • With the Unit prefix, the effectivity is: Unit(HP-0000001[1-10])
      • Without the prefix, the effectivity is: HP-0000001[1-10]

  3. To define a prefix for date effectivity, follow these steps:
    1. Add or edit this line in the file used to import properties into a page object: 

      emxEffectivity.Display.AddDatePrefix =

    2. Set the value for this property depending on your business requirements:

      • true = Includes the prefix.
      • false = Omits the prefix.

      For example:

      • With the Date prefix, the effectivity is: Date[Jan 1, 2009 - June 30, 2009]
      • Without the prefix, the effectivity is: [Jan 1, 2009 - June 30, 2009]

      The default value is false.

  4. When you are finished updating the text file with all properties that you want to modify, use the text file to modify the effectivity.properties page object. For more information, see Editing Properties Using MQL.
