Path: Admin > Text Management
If your organization doesn't use the default hierarchy names (Division, Region, District, etc.) or other labels, you can change them to reflect your own terms using Admin > Text Management. Your new term appears in the Custom Text column on the window.
Text Management Details
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 columns identify the Form name, Control, Default Text, and Custom Text.
Review each change carefully to be certain you have the correct form and type of control you want to change.
One exception to creating field 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 by your WebTMA System Administrator from Admin > Form Attributes > System Form Attributes–User Defined Fields Section.
