34. How to Change Terminology in TrackAble
TrackAble allows you to customise the terminology used throughout the system so it matches the language your school prefers. For example, if your school uses the term “students” instead of “pupils”, you can update TrackAble to reflect this consistently across all modules. This helps ensure clarity for staff and aligns TrackAble with your local policies and documentation.
Accessing Terminology Settings
-
Open the Administration Menu (see Accessing the Administration Menu article).
-
Click the Terminology icon.
-
You will be taken to the Terminology Settings screen.
Understanding Terminology Categories
Terminology in TrackAble is split into ten sections, each covering a different area of the system—for example:
-
Pupils
-
Assessments
-
IEP
-
Behaviour
-
Classes
-
Evidence
-
Forms
-
Reports
…and more.
Each section contains a list of terms that you can rename to match your school’s preferred vocabulary.
How to Change a Term
Follow the steps below:
1. Select the Relevant Terminology Category
Click the section that contains the term you want to change.
