Fields can be renamed to best fit your organization needs. However, changing the name of certain fields will not change the way the field functions. Follow the steps below on how to rename a field and refer to the chart for a list of fields and their description.

How to Rename a Field
  1. Click on the Meetings tab
  2. Click on Meeting Administration, then Field Labels
  3. Enter new field name(s) in text box(es)
  4. Click Save
    NOTE: Field name changes affect all meetings and meeting types in Simbli. Please verify that a field name change will not negatively impact other meetings.
