Configurable contact terminology
Administrators can now configure which terms Dynamics Dossier uses in the user interface for contacts of type Company, contacts of type Person, and contacts in general.
The terminology is set once per Business Central company in Dossier Setup under the new Contact Terminology section. All relevant labels in the application — such as field captions, column headers and fact box titles — update automatically when the setting changes.
Available options
| Setting | Options |
|---|---|
| Company Contact Terminology | Company (default), Organisation, Employer |
| Person Contact Terminology | Person (default), Employee, Client |
| General Contact Terminology | Relations (default), Tenants, Clients |
Example use cases
- Occupational health / arbo: set Company → Employer, Person → Employee, General → Clients
- Real estate / vastgoed: set General → Tenants
- Care or legal services: set Person → Client, General → Clients
The feature is available immediately after upgrading. Existing installations retain the default values (Company, Person, Relations) so no reconfiguration is required unless you want to change them.
Both English and Dutch labels are included. Additional languages can be added through the standard Business Central translation mechanism without any code changes.
