The Office/Company Standard Fields Terminology and User/Contact Standard Fields Terminology settings on the Global Settings page allow to define your own names for the standard Company/Account and User/Contact fields.

Note: The terms Company and Account, as well as User and Contact may have been renamed in your instance of SmartSimple, via the Global Settings page.

• Unlike the UTA Standard Field Settings, leaving a Label blank does not mean that the field will not be used. Any blank Label fields will use the default value listed to the left. If you wish to completely remove one of these fields from use you can put 1=0 into the Visibility Condition.
• You can also use the Visibility Condition section to control when each field is displayed using logic.
