While the lexicons of various professions share terminology, there are differences. There can be differences even within a professional market segment, such as accounting firms and engineering firms. In addition, some companies might utilize unique terms. Form labels, field labels, and field masks can be customized to your company's preferences. The mask enables letter, numbers and punctuation. When mask customization is not available, the mask field is unavailable. When customizing, the default Web Suite mask provided in the drop-down list or your own customized masks can be assigned.
For example, the label Employee which displays as the title of the screen can be changed to Timekeeper, Staff or another term. At the same time, the menu item changes to match the new window title. Field such as State, Zip Code, Other, SSN and Phone can have their labels and masks changed.

In some cases, changing the label in one screen enables you to make the change global. For example, Zip Code can be changed to Postal Code and this change can be implemented globally in all screens. Changes made in Custom Labels get reflected in the program tool tips as well.
