Use Labels from a Different Company

On the Company screen, General Info tab there is a setting that allows you to use defined Labels from  a different Company. (see below)

From the Home screen, select Tools - User Defined labels. The screen below will open.

Only the "Current Label" and "Short Label" can be modified. (The "Short Label" is for Reports.)



Change Labels - 5.8.0.#

From the Home screen, select Tools - User Defined labels

Only the "Override Label" and "Override Short" can be modified. The Locale drop down will list all the Locales associated with the software. Select a different Locale to change a Label for that language.


Reset Labels to Default

With the Label screen open, select File - Restore Defaults(See screen below) If you want to Restore Labels to Default for all languages, you will have to reset for each language.
