Custom strings overview

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:

  1. Click the Community logo in the top-left navigation menu
  2. Select Community configuration
  3. Click Custom strings

From here you can edit existing, or create new, custom string sets.

To Create a New Custom String Set:

  1. Hover over the community strings or project strings table cell and click the New icon
  2. Enter a name for your new string set
  3. Choose to clone an existing set or start with Centercode’s base strings
  4. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page

You have successfully created a custom string set.
