Changing Names and Labels

Path: Admin > Text Management

If you don't use the default hierarchy names (division, region, district, etc.) or other labels, you can change them to reflect your organization's terms using Admin > Text Management. Your new term appears in the Custom Text column on the window.

You have the option to change the nomenclature on a selected form or all references throughout WebTMA. This includes buttons, toolbars, windows, tool tips, and any other place where the term occurs. Use caution if you elect to make global changes.

The window identifies the Form name, Control, Default Text, and Custom Text.

The Text Management window includes the following instruction "To set empty word, Use {empty}." This procedure applies to one specific use. It is not needed for most fields, e.g., if you hide a field, the label is also hidden. See Empty Labels for full information.

Review each change carefully to be certain you have the correct form and type of control you want to change.

BtnNoteText One exception to creating labels is the UDF (User Defined Fields) Tab. Each organization can create and use fields for their own purposes. The labels for these fields are created from the various Types in Organization > Lookups.
