Naming
Section titled “Naming”The Naming tab is a small but powerful one: rename the production modules in the sidebar so the system speaks your team’s vocabulary. “Jobs” doesn’t fit every shop — yours might call them “Tasks”, “Orders”, “Items”, “Pieces”, “Recipes”, or something else. This tab lets you change the label (and the icon) wherever the system displays it.
Open the tab from App Settings → Naming.

What this tab is for
Section titled “What this tab is for”Use this tab to:
- Make the sidebar feel native to your business — speak the team’s words, not the system’s defaults.
- Match icons to your domain — pick from a curated set of icons relevant to manufacturing, furniture, retail, etc.
- Avoid translation drift — renaming once changes every breadcrumb, every dropdown, every Kanban view header consistently.
Six labels in total can be customized. Changes apply immediately for everyone.
What you can rename
Section titled “What you can rename”| Default label | Typical alternatives |
|---|---|
| Production | Floor, Workshop, Manufacturing, Operations. |
| Jobs | Tasks, Items, Pieces, Builds, Tickets. |
| Orders | Projects, Clients, Customers, Sales orders. |
| Workstations | Stations, Machines, Stages, Steps. |
| Departments | Teams, Areas, Cells, Zones. |
| Job Templates | Recipes, Specs, Workflows, Patterns. |
Each entry has its own row on the page with a name input and an icon picker.
Editing a label
Section titled “Editing a label”For each row:
- A text input holds the current label. Type the new one (max 50 characters).
- An icon grid below the input shows 20 icons to choose from.
- Click Save at the bottom to apply all changes at once.
The 50-character limit keeps labels sidebar-friendly. Anything longer would wrap or get truncated in narrow sidebars.
Picking an icon
Section titled “Picking an icon”The icon grid offers a curated palette:
Factory · Drill · ShoppingCart · Wrench · Building2 · FileStack · Package · Layers · Briefcase · ClipboardList · FolderKanban · Settings · Hammer · Cog · Box · Sofa · Lamp · Truck · LibraryBig · User · Users
Click an icon to select it — the chosen one fills with your accent color so you can see which is active. There’s no “no icon” option; if you don’t change it, the system default for that module is used.
Match the icon to your industry: Sofa and Lamp for furniture; Cog and Wrench for mechanical; Truck for logistics-heavy operations; Briefcase for professional services.
Where renames appear
Section titled “Where renames appear”Renames cascade through the whole system:
| Where | What changes |
|---|---|
| Main sidebar | The renamed label and the chosen icon. |
| Breadcrumbs at the top of each page | The renamed label. |
| Page headings (the H1 on /jobs, /workstations, …) | The renamed label. |
| Dropdown labels in tabs and pickers (e.g., “Apply Template” becomes “Apply Recipe”) | The renamed label. |
| Dashboard section cards | The renamed label. |
| Job panel tab titles (“Workstations” tab becomes “Stations” tab) | The renamed label. |
A few places — internal API field names, database column names, log messages — keep the original term. End-user-visible UI uses the rename consistently.
Tips and best practices
Section titled “Tips and best practices”- Pick names your team already uses. Don’t invent new vocabulary; mirror what people say on the floor.
- Stay consistent across all six. If you rename Jobs to Tickets, also consider how that reads alongside Workstations and Orders in the same sentence.
- Short beats clever. “Items” > “Manufacturing Order Items”. The label appears in narrow sidebars, narrow columns, and tabs — long labels truncate.
- Pick an icon that says it at a glance. A new user should be able to look at the sidebar without reading and have a sense of what each entry is.
- Coordinate with your training material. If you rename, update screenshots and SOPs to match — otherwise new starters get confused when the docs say “Jobs” but the sidebar says “Tickets”.
- Roll it out, then leave it. Renaming repeatedly is jarring — even more so for staff. Pick a name, give it a couple of weeks, only revisit if it genuinely doesn’t fit.
- Custom names won’t translate. If you also operate in another language, the rename overrides any translation — your custom “Pieces” stays “Pieces” regardless of the user’s UI language.
