Display Metadata
The Display package gathers together all metadata that in some way alters the way the model components are displayed in Control Center or Explorer.
General
This package is similar to another metadata package Prompt Metadata. However, the Display package is concerned with how the components are displayed in tribefire – for example, the DisplayInfo can be used to change programing-centric names into a more readable variation, such as firstName to First Name – whereas the Prompt package is concerned with how the values of the components are handled in tribefire. Priority, for example, alters the order of properties.
The metadata based on DisplayInfo are used to determine how the components' names should be displayed in tribefire – as shown above, DisplayInfo can be used to display a property name as First Name, rather than firstName.
