Change Attribute Names at Runtime

ALW

I am looking for a way to allow users to change the attribute names to suit their business acronyms. It is a multi-tenant environment and I would like to allow users to modify field/attribute names.

So, for example, I have the following fields in my Lead BO.

FirstName
LastName
SalesRep
LeadType
Campaign

If one tenant wanted to call the "SalesRep" field "Territory" and the "Campaign" field - "Lead Source" - is there a way to do this in AwareIM?

You can't really change the attribute names, but you can have attributes that in essence serve as labels for attributes.

Could you use internationalisation as a way to change labels client by client?

Users cant change Label name at run time. Using Locale is an option for developer but to change only a couple of labels, we wont prefer to use Locale. Alternate option is, create a logical flag and define a condition in Label Text.
eg
We have an Attribute FirstName and we are changing it to Father Name or Mother Name as shown below:
<<IF LoggedInUsers.Test='label1' Then SHOW SECTION_START>> Father Name <<SECTION_END>>
<<IF LoggedInUsers.Test='label2' Then SHOW SECTION_START>> Mother Name <<SECTION_END>>

You could also have an object that stores the custom labels and display them as HTML, which would have to be placed above the attribute.

+1 on this idea.

Thanks to all - I will look into each of these options.
