Customizing labels, text, and validation messages

To customize the labels or text for the clock, edit the clock.properties file and provide the required text values for the different UI elements of the clock. For example, if the badge entry prompt requires customization, change the value of PROMPT_BADGE. If the label of the function key for job change requires customization, change the value of JOB_CHANGE.

Likewise, to customize the validation messages, edit the settings_<language>.conf file and provide the appropriate messaging for the different validation messages. For example, if an employee provides an incorrect badge, the message specified in message.validation.BadgeValidation.badmessage will display based on the value provided in this file.

Note: We recommend updating and testing a single clock using the configuration update process before updating your remaining clocks.

See Configuration updates for the clock.
