Interface text changes

Award Force allows you to replace much of the default system text with wording that better suits your program. These edits allow you to customise the language used across the platform so it aligns with your program terminology.

For example, you might replace "Entry" with "Application", "Submission", or "Nomination".

Interface text can be updated in the Manage workspace under Settings > Content > Interface text.

The interface text view allows you to filter and manage edited system text.

  1. In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Content > Interface text
