Terminology basics

Welkin’s platform uses a set of standard terminology throughout the Coach Portal. However, your organization may use specific language in reference to those same things. Workshop’s Terminology builder allows you to change some of Welkin’s standard wording to better adapt to your program.

Terminology in Workshop

Terminology makes it possible to customize some of your Program language, by creating replacement terms that override Welkin’s defaults.

Terms that can be customized are limited to the following:

To create new terms, enter the singular and plural form of your custom terms in the “Singular” and “Plural” fields of the word they will replace. If the “Plural” field is left blank, the term will be pluralized by default, which adds an “s” to the custom term.

If both the “Singular” and “Plural” fields for a term are left blank, your Program will continue to use Welkin’s defaults.

Known issues

There are some areas in the Coach Portal that will not reflect your changes to Terminology. They are:

• “All Patients” page and the “Dashboard” pages: the field labels “Coach,” “Patient,” and “Program” will not reflect any changes to that Terminology
• On the Patient Profile page:
• The word “Patient” cannot be changed on the header of the Patient Profile page
• Changes made to “Assessment” cannot be reflected on the Timeline “Assessments” tab
• On the Side Bar, “Primary Coach” cannot be changed
• On the Action Bar:
• In the Assessment Action, “Select an assessment” will not reflect a change to “Assessment”
• “Create Task” will not reflect an override for the term “Task”
• “Edit Patient” will not reflect changes to the term “Patient”
