Terminology

Customizing Terminology in Weissr

As an administrator, you can customize Weissr to align with your organization's specific terminology for its capex processes. This includes updating menu items, messages, and other interface elements to match your company’s language and preferences.


Understanding Terminology Fields

In the Terminology Settings, you’ll find four key fields to manage:

  1. ID
    The unique identifier specifies where the message or label appears within the application.

  2. Original Message
    The default text shown in Weissr.

  3. Custom Message
    You can customize the text to match your organization's terminology.

  4. Context
    Provides additional information about where and how the message is used within the platform.


Decoding the ID Field

The ID helps you identify where a particular message or label appears within Weissr. Here's how to interpret the ID structure:

  • IDs starting with as. refer to the Capex Strategy Module.

  • IDs starting with cm. refer to the Capex Management Module or the Capital Budgeting Module.

You can hover over the ID for a more detailed reference within Weissr. For example, cm.request.collaboration.actions.tooltip.reply_blocked tells you this message is part of Capex Management, specifically in the request section under the collaboration tab, related to an actions tooltip.


Searching and Editing Messages

You can use the search bar to search for specific text as it appears in Weissr. This will help you locate the exact message you want to customize. The ID can give you additional clues about whether you’re adjusting the correct element.

Once you identify the message, you can modify the Custom Message to suit your needs. After making changes, simply refresh the page to see your update in action. If you made an unintended change, don’t worry—you can easily restore the message to its default state.
