Clicking the Go on this screen will complete the function and save the edited dictionary back to disk.This starer function enables the system to accommodate language or custom labeling requirements by replacing the field labels that appear on Data-Basics' SAMPro software screens with the ones that you specify. Note that web and applet screens are not currently affected by this function.
This function also supports changes to labels not directly associated with a field. An example is on the Site's parent Contact tab: the Site Contact 1: label over the contact information block. Click Field Label Remapping for the Site Contact Label for a step-by-step example.
This function should be restricted to system-level client users and support.
Relabeling done via this function will be overridden labeling implemented via the Custom Fields functionality.
When this function run, it will create or update a dictionary file called 'LabelRemap' that contains the field label replacements that you specify. This file should live in the same directory as the Data-Basics executable, v.exe. 'LabelRemap' is loaded on startup of the Data-Basics software. This file should only be edited by running the Start Field Label Remapping function, and should be backed up on a regular basis.
When you run 'Start Field Label Remapping', the system will display an Open File dialog box, which should already should point to the LabelRemap file in the directory containing the Data-Basics executable, v.exe.
Field Label:
This filter enables you to filter down which labels will be presented for possible renaming. Pressing Go on an empty filter field presents the user with all of the approximately 4000 field names in the system.
For example, if you wanted to relabel the Client User 1 field to display AP Contact, you could enter Client in the Field Label and then click Go.
Field Label:
This display-only field lists the standard field label used within the software.
Field Label Replacement:
If this field is blank, the standard label (displayed on the left) will be used by the system. To replace the standard label, simply enter it as you want it displayed on the screen. To avoid screen layout difficulties, the length of the replacement label should not greatly exceed that of the standard label.
Tip:
To undo a label remapping (just use the default label), simply clear the remapping field, and the system will start using the original.
