Glossary Entries

Use the Glossary to configure the default names of UI elements to your business needs. For example, instead of the default term for the Activity Status, Completed, you can use the glossary to configure the term to display as Done.

You can configure the description of a user-interface element, only if the element corresponds to a glossary item in the Oracle Fusion Field Service glossary.

The changes made to glossary references are global, that is, the change is consistent for all users. However, the same glossary entry might belong to different categories or sub categories. For example, the glossary entry, Not Done belongs to the categories, Activity Status, Activity History Operation, Notification Trigger Name, and Action Link. If you modify the glossary entry, Not Done that belongs to the category, Activity Status, then the change does not affect other categories.
Note: The glossary entries for the Screens Configuration (Application screens and Collaboration and Identifiers) categories are configured for the selected user types.

The Glossary Visibility Profile permission that controls the access to the Glossary page for a User Type is set using the Company Configuration context in the Screens, Main section. Only User Types that have Read/Write access can modify the glossary.

These columns display on the Glossary page:

  • Category: Displays the category and the sub category, if available, in the format, <Category:Subcategory>. For example, Activity: First Manual Operation.

  • Label/ID: The label/ID of the glossary entry displays. If label is not available, the ID displays. You cannot change labels in the glossary.

  • Columns for each language: The selected languages are displayed. See Add an Active Language.

You can click the text highlighted in red on any of the Language column to view the number of missing glossary entries.

When you update one of the missing glossary entries, the red highlight on the text box disappears and the count in the Language column is updated. If no entry is missing, the warning text on the column header disappears.

Click the Search icon in the search field to list the glossary entries. You can select a specific category from the drop-down list next to the search box and enter a term in the Search field to search for the required glossary entries.

By default, the original text for all glossary entries is displayed. When you modify the original text of a glossary entry and click Save, the modified text is overwritten. However, the original text is still visible, when you hover the mouse over the modified text.
