You now have the ability to edit Custom & Reference labels in Schedule Xpress. These labels give you the opportunity to rename the default labels that Celayix platforms provide.

You may be used to editing these in eTime Xpress in the Configuration section. But this newer method simplifies the approach.

Note: It's likely your labels are already set as you need them. This article is to explain where to go should you need to change one in the future.

This article will cover the following steps in Custom & References labels in Schedule Xpress:

Finding your Custom & Reference labels

Custom labels

Reference labels

Reset to system defaults

The labels can be found in the Settings are of Schedule Xpress. Please see the image below.

When you click on Custom & References labels, you'll be greeted with the following page.

It's important to note that we will be referring to these Reference labels by their system default name. If you have changed these labels since, then they may be named differently. The system default name can be seen within each of the Reference labels, which we will discuss further in the article.

You'll see the list of labels which you can select when you want to make an adjustment.

Once selected, you can adjust in the labels section to the right. This section will allow you to define a New label and New plural label.

In the example, you can see we've changed Customer to Client and Customers to Clients.

For the example of changing Customer(s) to Client(s), we're about to show you where the changes will show. However, be aware that each will be relative to whichever label it is that you've changed.

In Schedule Xpress, throughout your database. Here's inside of Manage sites, below.

Note: Once you've made any changes, we'd recommend logging out and logging back in to either Schedule Xpress and eTime Xpress to ensure the changes configure.

This will of course reflect in all other areas such as adding columns. See below.

Also, the change from Customer(s) to Client(s) will reflect in eTime Xpress.

Certain labels contain References in. You can also create References from within the labels section by choosing the Reference number and renaming it.

If you need to add or adjust these, head to the correct Custom label and then the References section.

Let's use Employee label as an example. You can press Add Reference label to add a label.

Then, you'll need to define the Reference label number by selecting it in the dropdown under Reference code, and then type the Label name in the adjacent box.

This option allows you to choose from a dropdown list and prevent anyone from freeform typing. This is to ensure consistency of references and to prevent anyone from typing incorrect information.

This is available for:

Let's use Shift reference lookups as the example.

The new options allow you to choose:

You can see reference lookups in the image below.

If you use Allow freeform text and dropdown with lookup options, you'll notice that you can type in the reference field as well as choose dropdown options.

If you use Dropdown with lookup options only, you'll notice that the reference box is greyed out. This will prevent all users from typing.

Using Dropdown with lookup options only, you will be required to click the dropdown arrow to select from the lookup list.

All Reference labels will be relevant to the label you change. References are used for all of the following as well:

Let's look at an example below.

We're going to apply a new Reference label to an employee profile. The example will show Reference label 2 as QuickBooks ID.

Once you've chosen the employee, click inside of their profile and press Edit employee. Then, head to the References section.

If you click Add reference, you'll be able to choose the new Reference label you created.

This will show in the References section of the Employee account in eTime Xpress.

Please be aware that if you want to reset either your Custom or Reference labels back to the default name, please click either of the following buttons.
