Designation tab

This tab is used for editing descriptions, either fully specified names, synonyms or text definitions. All descriptions of a given concept are shown, i.e. in the local language refset, the EN-US language refset, as well as descriptions not belonging to any of them and retired descriptions. New descriptions may be added and descriptions from user's own language refset may be changed (acceptability, case sensitivity) or retired. Also, descriptions from other language refsets may be changed to acceptable in user's language refset.
