Renaming field labels

You can rename field labels to match your company’s terminology. Keep the following in mind:

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Rename Field Labels.

The Rename Field Labels dialog box opens.

Note: Fields marked with an asterisk have short and long field names. The short name is used to allow fields to fit into the user interface without being truncated. Date Found and Version Found, which are both long versions, are used in filters, reports, and columns. Date and Version, which are both short versions, are used in the issue windows (e.g., Add Issue). Use the same terminology for short and long field names. For example, if you rename Version to Account, make sure you change Version Found to Account Found.

2. Select an item Type. The field labels displayed depend on the selected type.

3. Select the field you want to rename and click Edit.

The Edit Field Label Value dialog box opens.

4. Enter the Field Label. Labels must be 32 characters or less. Labels that do not fit in the allotted space are truncated.

5. Click OK.

6. When you finish, click OK in the Rename Field Labels dialog box.

The changes are saved and the project is updated with the new field labels.

Note: Renaming a field does not affect image files. To change the tab name in the TestTrack Web interface you can modify the image file, which is generally stored in inetpub/wwwroot/ttweb/images. Most graphics include one image for a selected tab and one for a non-selected tab.
