Object Renaming

Concepts

Object renaming lets you tell VSys to call certain things by different names. For example, you can refer to "Projects" as "Special events" if that makes more sense to your organization. While you can't define new types of addresses and phone numbers, you can rename existing types by using this tool. It doesn't change how VSys works with them, but it will display them using the terms you specify.

Configuring Object Renaming

From the main VSys One screen, click on the Object renaming link on the Setup panel.
Check Override built-in object names to enable object renaming. Un-check it to disable it.
For each type of object that you want to rename, enter both a singular and plural name. For example, if you're renaming "Project" to "Special event", enter "Special event" in the Singular column, and "Special events" in the Plural column.
To return an object to its original name, just leave the field blank.
Do the same on the Addresses and Phones tabs, providing a new name where applicable, or leaving it blank to use the built-in term.
Click on the Save button to commit your changes.

After saving your changes, VSys One will need to shut down for the changes to take effect.

Injudicious use of object renaming can confuse your users, either accidentally or by intent. (Yes, you could rename all objects to "George", and while this would probably be very entertaining, they may hurt you as a result.) Large scale renaming may also slow down the Bespoke technical support when trying to assist with an issue.
