Defining global text changes

Access the Global Text Changes form to change boiler text (field labels) throughout the system rather than using screen designer on each separate screen on which the boiler text is displayed. Making global text changes creates system-wide terminology changes. Any changes made on the Global Text Changes form are applied to all HMS forms where the specified text is displayed. Error messages, function titles, and code descriptions cannot be changed using the Global Text Changes form.

Caution: 
You must clear the cache on the application server before the text changes are displayed. You must clear the cache on the client’s machine as well.

It is possible to have duplicate texts within the system. Changing one will not affect the other. Following important details must be noted:

  • To reverse the text change for the selected record, click Undo. The system makes the Original Text the Current Text for the selected record.
  • To reverse all of the system boiler text changes, click Undo All. The system makes the Original Text the Current Text for all records.
  • To update all of the system boiler text changes, click Redo All. The system makes the Current Text the Alternate Text for all records.
  • To view a list of screens where the selected record appears, click Where Used.

To define global text changes:

  1. Select Administration > Setup > Global Text Changes.
  2. Enter the search criteria in the Dataspy, and then select the record to update. The system populates Current Text, Original Text, Language, Code, and Last Updated.
  3. Specify this information:
    Alternate Text
    specify the new boiler text.
  4. Click Save.
