WorkBench Schema Configuration

It is often advantageous for users to change the field captions within Specify to match their specific form/database needs. When these captions are changed within the Specify application the changes are not reflected in the Data Set Mapping Editor. Specify captions can also be changed in the WorkBench Schema Configuration tool for captions in the Data Set Mapping Editor to match those created in the Specify Schema Configuration tool.

The WorkBench Schema Configuration tool works exactly like the (Specify) Schema Configuration tool.

Choose System > WorkBench Schema Configuration to open the tool.

@SpecifyMembership I think the “WorkBench Form Editing” link in the very last sentence does not work but intends to link to: Form Editing
