Does anyone know how to change the words "Reporting Objects" to something else like "Report Templates"

Reporting Objects is appearing to be too difficult for business users to understand.

I'm running 7.1.6 now and 7.6.4 in the near future. We are NOT using the java applet but dashboard.


Have used WF 5.x, 7.x w/RC, BID, MR
WAS 5.x/6.x
AIX 5.3.0

Hi,

Report template would confuse a user more than reporting object. This beacuse the reporting object is not a template of a report but a "Data Source" for whom ever wants to use it to create and ad-hoc report.
I think we should teach the user to get familiar with the terms used by webfocus.
If you change that users will be more confused when they have to read the webfocus documentation which refers or uses Reports objects rather then Reports template.

Regards


WebFocus 7.6.5
AND WebLogic server as web server
sql2005 as database server
