Cost Category Label Customizations

In Master data libraries > Cost categories, there is a Enable custom labels toggle. If this toggle is turned on, all of your cost category field names come from the custom columns depending on your language preference in Control. Language preference is located in user settings.

You can overwrite the custom labels if you have the applicable permissions. Depending on where you have cost categories shown in the product, the overwritten labels show with the new custom labels.

These labels can be viewed at the organization level. Every project within that organization can see these labels.

If the organization prefers a different field name, it can be renamed using the cost category custom labels.

Dimmed custom labels cannot be overwritten. For example, the Field name Total.

If the custom label for the field name is blank, then the custom label column will use the default name for the field name column.

One way of finding these custom labels in the project is by going to the CBS register. From there, open the Cost Categories slide-out panel. Under the Cost category column, find your custom label. For example, the Labor Base field name can be customized and renamed L-Base.

These changes can take a few minutes to fully generate because custom categories span the entire project.

If the Enable custom labels toggle has been shut off, then the category names come from the Field names in the Master data libraries only.
