System Titles

You can tailor the column titles in vFire Core browse tables to suit your requirements. This would normally only be done once, when the system is first set up.

This will not change the field titles. You can only change field titles using Designer.

Changing Field Names

Before you start

You must have System Set Up selected in the Admin tab of your General Access security role.

  1. Select the Menu button , then Admin, and then select System Administration. The System Administration window is displayed . In the Explorer pane, locate the System group , scrolling up or down if necessary. You may need to expand the group to see the options within it.

  2. Select the System Titles option. The System Titles window appears, displaying a table of existing fields.
  3. At Show Titles by, use the drop down list to select an area of the system to display the corresponding fields for which you can configure the titles.

    4. Title The internal names of fields throughout vFire Core. You cannot change these on this window.

Any system titles you change will be updated in parts of the application such as search results browse tables, but will not be reflected in field labels on Details windows.
