Overview

This page contains the key system terms, which are also used within the menu structure and then wherever referred to. Any term displayed can be renamed by entering the new name against the term. All instances of that term will be amended throughout the system to the new name as specified.

Use in Interface

An application term can be entered in text labels on forms in this format:

   {{TERM}}

To render the term rather than static text.

Example: If you have changed the term Request to Call, you can enter:

   {{Request}}

on a form and it will be converted on the fly as Call.
