Applicable version: 2.3 or later

Description

  • SSP v2.3 allows for a high level of control over the labels that appear for tabs and fields in the Intake.  Each of the tabs and fields is controlled by a customizable value in the database that will appear in the user interface.  Defaults values are provided for each tab and field.  Implementers can make changes to the text labels at any time.  Some of the customizable labels are global and affect more than the Intake.  In general, the global fields represent synchronized data for students including names, addresses and contact information.

Process

SSP administration allows for each of the labels to be changed from the default.  None of the labels require configuration as the default values will be displayed.  To change a label:

  • Navigate to SSP Admin
  • Choose the System Configuration folder and text item
  • Configurable items are listed by Name, Value and Code
  • Double-click the Value for the row to be edited
  • After the edit, Click Update

 

If labels are changed, current users will not see the changes immediately.  The web page(s) containing the change must be refreshed after the change.  Any new SSP session after the change will reflect the change.

Items and Definitions

The labels are defined into two categories: Intake and Global.  For each configurable item, a code describes the type and location affected by the configuration.  Each of the labels are configured in the same way.  Only the location(s) for display are different.

  • Global items appear in multiple locations in SSP.  The code pattern is ssp.label.<field>

 

 

  • Intake  items only appear in the Intake Tool.  Every field label on the Intake is configurable.  The code pattern is intake.<tab>.<field>
