## What the words are
|
||
|
||
Every organisation that hands out uniform has the same four things, and each calls them something different. ThreadCount keeps them as a setting on the facility rather than writing them into the screens.
|
||
|
||
| Word | What it names | Default |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| A team | The group a person belongs to and is charged to | `team` |
|
||
| Teams | More than one of them | `teams` |
|
||
| Where stock is kept | The room the counter works from | `uniform store` |
|
||
| A delivery run | Bags taken out to the teams and signed for | `delivery round` |
|
||
| A team's request desk | The person on a team who signs for what the run brings | `team desk` |
|
||
|
||
Screen text quoted in this manual uses the defaults. Your screens use your own words in the same places.
|
||
|
||
## Choose a starting point
|
||
|
||
Sign-up in a browser asks `Kind of organisation`, and the answer fills in all five words. Leaving it blank, choosing `Something else`, or signing up from the counter app keeps the defaults. Change them any time afterwards under `Settings › Facility`, in the `Words` section.
|
||
|
||
`Starting point` offers a set for each kind of organisation:
|
||
|
||
| Starting point | A team | Where stock is kept | A delivery run |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| Any organisation | team | uniform store | delivery round |
|
||
| Hotel or hospitality | department | uniform room | delivery round |
|
||
| Security | crew | kit store | kit run |
|
||
| Retail | store | stockroom | store run |
|
||
| Cleaning or facilities | site | depot | site run |
|
||
| School or college | department | uniform shop | delivery round |
|
||
| Transport | depot | depot store | depot run |
|
||
| Manufacturing | line | PPE store | line run |
|
||
| Hospital or healthcare | ward | linen room | ward round |
|
||
|
||
Choosing one fills in the five boxes below it. Nothing is saved until you press `Save words`. `Undo` puts back the words you had.
|
||
|
||
## Type your own
|
||
|
||
Edit any box after choosing a starting point. When the five words no longer match a starting point, the select shows `Your own words`.
|
||
|
||
1. **Write each word as it reads mid-sentence**, in lower case: `department`, not `Department`. The screens capitalise it where a label starts with it.
|
||
2. **Give the plural yourself** in `Teams`. People-words do not follow one rule, so ThreadCount does not guess it.
|
||
3. **Press `Save words`.** The message `Saved. Every screen uses these words now.` confirms it.
|
||
|
||
Each word must be filled in and under 40 characters. An empty box is refused with `Every word needs filling in — each one appears on screens and slips.`
|
||
|
||
## Where they appear
|
||
|
||
- The coordinator screens, the counter app and the staff app.
|
||
- Printed slips and the delivery slip.
|
||
- Emails and phone notifications sent to staff.
|
||
- Reports and CSV exports, where a column is headed with a word.
|
||
|
||
Pages shown before anyone signs in, such as the sign-in screen, use the defaults, because they do not yet know which facility they belong to.
|
||
|
||
The words change only what is displayed. Your records, departments, cost centres and history are untouched, and changing the words back restores every screen exactly.
|
||
|
||
## What is written
|
||
|
||
| Record | Change | Undo |
|
||
|---|---|---|
|
||
| Facility | The five words | Choose a starting point again or type the old words, then `Save words` |
|
||
| Audit log | One entry under `Settings › Data & audit log` | None |
|
||
|
||
Only an Admin can change the words. On the public demo they are fixed, because every visitor shares one facility.
