Database Terminology and Other Terms Tabs

The terminology used throughout Dovico Timesheet may not exactly match the terms used within your company, department or profession. The Custom Terminology feature permits changes to terminology used in more than 20 fields and in reports.

 

Examples:

"Client" could be changed to "Business Unit", "Division", "Customer", "Buyer"

"Employee" could be changed to "Worker", "Resource"

"Project" could be "Job", "Purchase Order", "Contract"

"Task" could be "Work Order", "Activity", "Phase"

 

Changes will appear in menu items, column headings and reports.
