Interface Texts

The Uptempo Work Management modules contain a specific wording. If you want to make changes to texts, for example to implement your company's terminology, you can do so for each of the 12 default languages. You can adjust a language under Administration > Overview > Look & Feel > UI Languages:

You can download the original interface texts, customize them, and then upload the file with the modified texts. When you download the interface texts, they are saved to an Excel file in XLSX format. In the spreadsheet, columns A and B are filled on the first sheet. Column A contains the keys used to assign the texts to the correct locations in the interface.

Attention

Do not modify the keys in column A! If these keys are incorrect or missing, the system can no longer assign the respective text correctly!

The corresponding text is entered in column B. You can make changes to this text. However, please note the following special features:

  • Tags: The interface texts contain tags, for example <br/>, <a>, </a> or <i>.

  • Variables: Further variables are also entered in the form {x} or [%Description%].

Attention

Leave the tags and variables unchanged and do not add any tags or variables, as this changes the meaning and layout of the text.

Once you have finished editing, save the Excel file and upload it. The system checks which texts have been changed and saves the changes. These changes take effect immediately.

If you want to make further changes, download the previously uploaded file, as it only contains the changed texts. You can supplement these with additional, modified interface texts. Please note Adjusting Other Interface Texts. If you want to reset the changes, delete the file with the changes. The system will then use the original texts again. For more information, see Resetting Changes.

If your system is updated to a new version, please note the following cases for interface texts:

  • Interface texts are omitted: If texts are no longer required, the corresponding entries in the Excel files are omitted. You do not need to do anything.

  • Interface texts are added: If new texts are required, they are added to the original interface texts. If necessary, you can adapt the new texts as described in Adjusting Other Interface Texts and add them to existing changes.

  • Existing interface texts change, but you haven't changed these interface texts in your system: In this case, too, there is no need for you to act; the changes will be automatically displayed in your system.

  • Existing interface texts change and you had already changed these interface texts in your system: In this case the changes are saved in the original interface texts, but your changed texts are still used. Check your changes to determine whether you need to make any adjustments.
