Customize site language and terminology via string sets
String Sets allow you to customize the default text labels and UI terms used throughout your Centercode site. They are built on a key-value pair system, where each key (like ph_mytodo) corresponds to a specific piece of interface text (e.g., "My To-Do"). With a custom string set, you can rename labels to match your brand language—for example, changing "My To-Do" to "My Assignments." Custom string sets are supported at both the community and project scopes.
From the community homepage:
- Click the Community logo in the top-left navigation menu
- Select Community configuration
- Click Custom strings
From here you can edit existing, or create new, custom string sets.
To Create a New Custom String Set:
- Hover over the community strings or project strings table cell and click the New icon
- Enter a name for your new string set
- Choose to clone an existing set or start with Centercode’s base strings
- Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page
You have successfully created a custom string set.
