Modifying application text

You can modify the value of the displayed label or text for any application object (such as icons, labels, report names and descriptions, messages). The process for modifying display text is the same for all application objects, including reports.

About this task

To do this task, you need the SOX > Administration > Application Text application permission.

Changes to the displayed text appear wherever the particular object is displayed in the application.

Procedure

  1. Click Open Administration menu Administration menu > System Configuration > Application Text.
  2. To find application text that you want to view or modify, use the Search box. You can also click filter icon to filter the list.
    For example, enter path to find all application text strings with the word path in their name, description, or value. The Search box text is not case-sensitive.

    To limit the search results to button application text strings, click filter icon, and then click Buttons.

  3. To modify application text, click an application text in the list. Make your changes in one or more locales.
