I would want to change the text in the below caption

Next Audit should be changed to ‘Evaluation Date’

Is it possible to achieve this ?

Hi ​@geminirajesh 

Yes, it’s possible. You can change this label as a Customization.

Thanks & Regards,
Asanka.

Hi,

 

In the Solution Manager you can find the Translation Manager. 
Query for your Logical Unit and find the caption you are looking for.

Update.

Or cheapest and easiest trick is to create a new custom field and use the label (“Evaluation Date”) of that custom field. Move that label across to where you want to and move the standard field label to a place where it is not visible. Make sure to keep a comment on the custom field so you know what that dud custom field is used for.

A word of warning: Editing the label of an out-of-the-box field means that it will no longer match the official IFS field help or the IFS page help, and will no longer match any info given via the IFS Community page. This can cause confusion in the future when users go looking for the OOTB field and cant find it.

As an alternative to editing the label, you might consider leaving the filed label as is and adding some details into your user guide / SOP to explain it’s use.

There is usually an “Installation Translation” column that can be used to identify the field.
