Alternative Captions

Use Screen Designer to enter an alternative caption that will be used for a hub or Chart of Accounts field when the field is used in other Vantagepoint applications in a different context, such as in searches, proposals, workflows, list view column headings, and the Search and Replace utility.

A caption is the name of an element on a Vantagepoint screen, for example, the name of a field. Users see a field's caption in a hub or Chart of Accounts and wherever that field displays in other locations in Vantagepoint, such as in searches, proposals, workflows, and the Search and Replace utility.

An alternative caption replaces a field's caption when the field displays in other locations throughout Vantagepoint, such as in searches, workflows, list view column headings, and the Search and Replace utility. An alternative caption can make a field easier for users to understand when they see the field in a different context in another application.

You can enter an alternate caption for regular fields and child fields for compound (parent) fields. Entering an alternate caption is optional.

A compound (parent) field is made up of multiple, related child fields. Examples of a compound parent field are the Location field for a project in the Projects hub and the Home Address field for an employee in the Employees hub. These compound (parent) fields have multiple child fields, such as Address 1, Address 2, City, Country, and so on.

Example of Using an Alternative Caption

The Accounting tab in the Projects hub has three different Apply Rate Method at This Level fields, one for cross charges, one for intercompany labor billing, and one for intercompany expense billing.

You could enter the following entries in the Alternate Caption field for each of these same-named fields so that users can clearly identify each field when they see it in a location in Vantagepoint other than the Accounting tab in the Projects hub:
  • Cross charges - Apply Rate Method at This Level
  • Intercompany labor billing - Apply Rate Method at This Level
  • Intercompany expense billing - Apply Rate Method at This Level
