Setting Up the Label Change Utility

To set up the Label Change Utility, use the Label Change Template (RV_TEMPLATE), Label Change Template Mapping (RB_TMPL_APP_MAP), and Label Change Page Fields (RV_APP_COMP_FLD) components.

This section discusses how to define templates and clone templates.

For easy identification, use the name of the industry or applications for which the template is created as the template name, such as HRHD360 or CORE360.

Use the Template Save As page (RV_TMPL_SAVEAS) to clone label change templates.

Field or Control

Description

SetID and Template

Select a setID and match it with a template name. The Template Name drop-down list box contains all templates created in the system using the Template page.

Note: You can map a setID to only one template; however, you can map multiple setIDs to the same template.

Use the Page Fields page (RV_APP_COMP_PG_FLD) to configure field properties, such as define fields that need a label change or hide fields.

Navigation:

Set Up CRM > Common Definitions > Component Configuration > Label Change > Label Change Page Fields > Page Fields

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Page Fields page.

 Page Fields page

Field or Control

Description

Page and Record

Select the page name and record of the page on which you want to hide fields or change field labels. Values in the Page field dictate the values available in the Record field and are specific to the component listed at the header level.

Page Fields

Use this section, configure the system to hide fields or change field labels that are associated with the selected page or page record.

Field or Control

Description

Field and Label Text

Select the name of the field you want to modify; the current label of the selected field appears in the adjacent field.

New Label ID

Select a new label for the selected field, if applicable.

The system lists existing labels that are associated with this field; you cannot create new field labels. After selecting a new label ID, the system displays the long and short name of the label. The Hide check box becomes unavailable for entry.

Label Size

Select whether to use the long or short name of the new label.

Hide

Select to hide the associated field from the page.

Do not select a new label for fields that you want to hide because when you do, the Hide check box becomes unavailable for entry. To enter a new label for the field, clear the check box.

For the system to adjust page layout accordingly after fields are hidden from the page, you must enable the adjust layout property in PeopleSoft Application Designer. With the page opened in PeopleSoft Application Designer, right-click it and select Page Properties from the menu. On the Use page, select the Adjust Layout for Hidden Fields check box and save the change. The page layout updates and fields adjust horizontally after you hide fields from the page.

Note: The label change utility cannot be used to hide required fields unless a default value has been defined for these fields in their record definitions.

To change labels for fields inside grids, you must first change the page (where the grid resides) using PeopleSoft Application Designer. To do so:

  1. Open the page in PeopleSoft Application Designer.

  2. Right-click on the field (which appears as a grid column heading) whose label you want to change.

  3. Select Page Field Properties from the menu.

  4. On the General page, enter the field name in the Page Field Name field (available on the Record page).

  5. Save the change.

You can now change field labels, regardless of whether they are inside or outside of a grid.

Grid Properties

Use this section to change the grid label available on the selected page.

Field or Control

Description

Page Field Name and Message Text

Select the name of the field that is associated with the grid; the current grid label appears in the adjacent field. If the selected page does not have a grid, the system returns no search results.

Message Set

Select the message set (message catalog) from which the new grid name is selected. The system displays the message set number in the field.

Message Number

Select the number of the text to be used as the new grid name. The system displays the text associated with the selected message number to the right of this field.

We discuss this procedure in the documentation for creating page definitions.

Hide

Select to make the associated page invisible.

For example, you can hide a page in a component that is used in a PeopleSoft CRM vertical application because this page is irrelevant to the application.

Display-Only

Select to change the mode of the associated page to display-only, which means you cannot edit information on the page.
