Customizing Labels and Fields

We recognize that not all organization use the same terminology when dealing with taxation. To facilitate these variations the spread sheet used to populate the Property Tax Calculator includes a dictionary. Altering the terms in the dictionary changes the text that is displayed in the public interface.

We recommend making any customizations to the dictionary prior to adding the rest of you property tax data.

To edit the public facing labels in the Property Tax Calculator tool follow these steps:

Open the property tax calculator excel spread sheet. You can get a copy of this from your GHD project representative or download an example file here
Select the 'Dictionary' tab
Edit the entries in the English column as required. See the list below for the details on the effects of each entry
Repeat your edits in each column for alternate languages. This is only required if you have a multilingual website
Save the document
