Labels
The Labels settings allow you to configure the global currency code, web portal messages, fuel types, measurement units, date formats, and time formats for a given locale. Labels are available for each enabled locale. To enable additional locales, refer to Locales.
Currency
The currency code defines how currency values are displayed for a given locale, ensuring that the proper currency symbol and formatting are used. A locale uses a default currency code that is commonly applicable to a locale. You can provide a different currency code for a locale if required.
Messages
Messages are text elements displayed throughout the Digital Self Service - Transactions web portal. The elements defined here are commonly more applicable to the web portal itself rather than feature-specific elements. This includes elements such as website navigation, page titles, footers, and side bar content.
The default messages can be reviewed and modified to reflect the requirements of your web portal. For additional information on a particular message, review the help text provided with the message.
Fuel Type
Fuel Type defines the wording used for the fuel types applicable to your program. Fuel type terminology is used in locations such as fuel type toggles and other locations where the applicable fuel type is highlighted.
Unit of Measure
Units of Measure define the wording used for the units of measure applicable to your program, such as energy units, and temperature units. Unit of measure terminology is used in locations such as graphs, data insights, and other locations where a unit of measure is displayed.
Dates
Dates defines how various date elements are formatted. Messages that display date and time content support specific date and time formatting syntax. For the Labels options that are applied across all features, the date syntax uses the standards described at https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/.
Time
Time defines how various time elements are formatted. Messages that display date and time content support specific date and time formatting syntax. For the Labels options that are applied across all features, the time syntax uses the standards described at https://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/format/.
Reviewing Label Modifications
Direct previews are not available when modifying labels. You can review label changes by publishing your workspace to an environment, as described in Publishing Configurations.
A process of modifying labels and republishing to an environment for review can be used until labels reflect the preferred configuration. It can be helpful to complete label configurations separately from widget and page configurations. This technique ensures that the changes that are seen in the environment are due to label changes and not related to other widget or page changes made elsewhere in the Opower Configuration Tool.
