You can replace the user interface keywords in the system.

Overview

This feature allows you to replace the standard JDXpert words with client-specified words. This can be configured in the Entity UI Keywords grid.

For example, “Job Standard” can be replaced with “Parent” throughout the system.

Only system keywords can be replaced and not customized text (for example, job templates, tab names, labels, button text, and so on).
Keywords of input data cannot be replaced (for example, job description, Essential Functions, FLSA, choice lists, job family lists, and so on).
Entity UI keywords are case-insensitive.
- For example, in the View/Edit Job Description form, the following keywords can be replaced:

a. Save and Close button

b. Discard Draft button

c. Workflows button

d. Workflows button dropdown list

Only standard alphabetical letters are supported for keyword replacements. Special characters, such as ‘&', ‘@', and '*’, are not supported.
If you want to replace the "workflow" word, the replacement overrides the instances of "workflow" in these fields. All other instances can be modified in the master template (advanced template design).
- For example, replace the keywords "Job Family" throughout the system. The instances of "Job Family" (Job Select form, Job Management, Job Family tab, etc.) overrides the value in place of "Job Family" in places where the text cannot be modified.

To add the keywords

1. Navigate to the Admin Tools tab.

2. Click the Data Management node, and select Entity UI Keywords.

You can define the entity UI keywords to be replaced in the system. The standard buttons like Save, Previous, and Next are excluded to maintain system consistency.

3. Click Add New.

This displays the following screen:

4. In the UI Keyword box, enter the keyword to be replaced.

5. In the Override Word box, enter the new keyword.

6. Click Save and Close.

The new item is added to the existing list as shown:

The entity UI keywords are used if the UseUIKeywordSubstitutions property is set to True in the business rules.

The keywords with lower order are processed earlier prior than the keywords with higher order code. The order of the UI keywords can be important to achieve the best results.
