Set Up Field Labels

Use the Labels tab of General System Settings to rename key fields to reflect the terminology used in your industry or firm. The new names are used on screens, fields, and reports.

If a label that you change here affects a label on the Navigation menu and you also use the Navigation Menu Designer, the Navigation Menu Designer settings override the changes that you enter here.

If you use multiple languages, only standard field labels are translated. If you use custom field labels, you must log in using the alternate language and change the custom labels.

To set up field labels:

1. On the Navigation menu, click Settings > General > General System.
2. On the General System Settings form, click the Labels tab.
3. Complete or modify the fields on this tab to specify new labels. Do not use single quotes (') or double quotes (") in your labels.
4. Click Save.
