Customize user interface labels
Main Page > User manual > UM-7 Administer ICA-AtoM > UM-7.4 Customize settings > UM-7.4.4 Customize user interface labels
Users of ICA-AtoM interact with four main entities: archival descriptions, authority records, archival institutions, and terms.
- For more on entities, see UM-1.3 Entity types.
ICA-AtoM, however, is built on underlying software (Qubit) that is designed to be flexible enough to support descriptions of other types of cultural materials in addition to library holdings (such as archival, museum and art gallery materials). The code, therefore, uses generic terms for entities. Administrators can specify how they want these terms to appear in the user interface labels. The default labels that ship with ICA-AtoM represent a library-specific "theming" of the labels.
1. Click the admin > settings tab.
2. Open the user interface label information area.
3. The name column shows the generic qubit entity name and the value column shows ICA-AtoM's default user interface labels. The following is a list of the generic qubit terms and their ICA-AtoM user interface labels. Click on each label to see glossary definitions and descriptions of how the terms are used in ICA-AtoM.
- informationobject archival description
- actor authority record
- creator creator
- repository archival institution
- term term
- subject subject
- collection fonds
- holdings holdings
- place place
- name name
- digitalobject digital object
- physicalobject physical storage
- media type media type
- material type (general material designations used in the Canadian Rules for Archival Description).
4. To change user interface labels, enter the new label(s) into the field(s) in the value column.
5. Click the save button to commit changes.
