Configure display names for key modules

Users with ‘System administration’ rights can configure the display name for a number of different modules (System Admin > System Settings > Configure Module Display Names). Publications, Grants, Professional activities, Teaching activities and Projects can have their display names updated from a predefined list. This allows administrators to accurately represent the scope of scholarly activities at their organisation. 

The ‘corresponding object display name’ represents how a reference to an individual item will be displayed in the user interface. For example, if the module display name = Scholarly activity, the object display name = activity, e.g. ‘Add an activity’. 

Choosing a display name for a module will update key references to the module's name across the Elements user interface including renaming module-specific pages, and updating references to that module within the Menu. 

Please note - changing the module display name will not change references to the module's name in the operational database, reporting database or API (eg. in field names or table names) to avoid introducing breaking changes.
