What labels are
Labels are the texts users see in Curriculum: menu items, page names, buttons, help texts and object names. Through Administration -> Labels you can change them to match your institution's own terminology, per language.
The example in this guide shows the Module object as Course.
Where to find labels
Go to Administration -> Navigation -> Labels. The page is described as: Edit application labels to match your institution's terminology, such as on pages or buttons.
The overview shows one row per label and language, with three columns:
- Key: the technical identifier of the label (for example
AcademicYear,Module,Faculty.Modules,Static.Button.ModulesReport,Static.Help.Module.Appraisals). - Language: EN, NL or SV.
- Text: what users see (for example
AcademicYear= Academic year / Academisch jaar / Akademiskt år).
Above the list are the filters All, Touched and Manual, a search box and + Add.
Find the labels for a term
Type the term in the search box. The search matches the text as well as the key. Searching for course returns, among others:
| Key | Text (EN) |
|---|---|
Module | Course |
ModuleGroupModule.ModuleId | Course |
Faculty.Modules | Courses |
Static.Button.ModulesReport | Course form |
Enum.MODULE_DESCRIPTION | Course description |
Enum.VIEW_HOURS_MODULE_REPORT | Show hour report (course) |
Admin.Page.ModuleTypes.Tooltip | Manage module types, such as internships, external courses, minors, or projects. |
Static.Help.Module.Appraisals | This page displays the appraisals of the course. |
One term appears in many labels: object names, tab names, buttons, report names, tooltips and help texts. Search for both the singular and plural form, and check every hit, so the terminology is consistent everywhere.
Change a label
- Click the row of the label you want to change (for example key
Module). - A dialog opens with the key as its title and one text field per language. In the example: EN Course, NL Vak, SV Kurs.
- Change the text for the relevant languages.
- Click Save. The button only becomes active once something has been changed. Cancel closes the dialog without saving.
The new text is used in the screens wherever that key appears. For example, the Modules tab under Faculties and the Course (module) object under Custom types and fields both show the label for Module.
Labels that are not managed here
Not every text is a label on this page. Items you configure yourself get their labels in their own configuration screen. Custom fields are an example: the labels of a field (EN / NL / SV) are set in the field dialog under Administration -> Custom types and fields, see Curriculum: Custom types and fields. The same applies to process names, among other things.
Can't find a term?
If a term doesn't show up when you search Labels, look in the configuration screen of the item itself (custom type, field, process, and so on).
