Defining global text changes

Access the Global Text Changes form to change boiler text (field labels) throughout the system rather than using screen designer on each separate screen where the boiler text appears. Making global text changes creates system-wide terminology changes. Any changes made on the Global Text Changes form are applied to all Infor EAM forms where the specified text appears.

Note: Error messages, function titles, and code descriptions cannot be changed using the Global Text Changes form.

It is possible to have duplicate texts within the system. Changing one will not affect the other.

To define global text changes:

  1. Open the Global Text Changes form.
  2. Enter the search criteria in the Dataspy, and then select the record to update. The system automatically populates Current Text, Original Text, Language, Code, and Last Updated.
  3. Alternate Text—Enter the text for the new boiler text.
  4. Click Submit.
    Note: To reverse the text change for the selected record, click Undo. The system makes the Original Text the Current Text for the selected record.

    To reverse all of the system boiler text changes, click Undo All.

    To update all of the system boiler text changes, click Redo All.
