Configuring Outcomes Terminology

Overview

This article explains how to configure the language used for outcomes throughout Planning & Self-Study. This feature allows top-level administrators to align the platform with internal institutional standards and practices. Administrators will understand how to define specific labels for different outcome types and ensure consistent communication across the platform.

 

Terminology Labels

Administrators can define both singular and plural forms for the following categories:

  • Outcomes
  • Learning Outcomes
  • Success Outcomes

 

System-Wide Integration

Once configured, the terminology automatically integrates into:

  • Email notifications
  • System alerts
  • Home page widgets
  • Workflow prompts

 

Accessing Configuration Settings

A dedicated configuration area is available for authorized administrators to manage these terms.

  • Select Admin from the left-hand panel.
  • Select Configuration Settings.
  • Locate Outcomes under the Global Directions and Terminology section.
Configure Outcomes
  • Review the screen displaying the original terminology.
  • Select Write my own from the dropdown menu to enter a unique term.
Write my own for outcomes configuration
  • Enter both the singular and plural versions of the term.
  • Select Save.

 

Once saved, these terms apply immediately across the entire interface, including organization management, plan setup, curriculum mapping, and the Measure Library.
