Can I remove the 'Application name' field?

The 'Application name' field is a system requirement and must be completed when creating an application. This can, however, be renamed for greater relevance for your program. For example, your program may be collecting submission and, therefore, the 'Application name' field would be better if labeled for example, 'Submission name', 'Project name', or 'Applicant name'.

There are two options allowing you to rename the 'Application name' system field label:

• Interface text override
• Category advanced setting

Interface text override

This option allows you to change the default 'Application name' label, affecting your application form regardless of the category chosen by the applicant. To rename the 'Application name' label:

1. In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Content > Interface text
2. From the list, select the Application name option
   
3. Insert your preferred wording into the text field below (i.e. what you want to replace 'Application name' with)
4. Save

If you have modified any field, you will have the options to sort by 'Only modified | All'.

Tip: you can also add help text with more information by selecting Application name field help text. The help text will appear as a circle with a question mark which the user can click to open. This help text is not category-specific, so the tip you provide should be generic to suit any of your categories.

Category advanced setting

This option allows you to rename the 'Application name' system field but only for a selected category. This means you can have a different 'Application name' label for each category if you wish. If you only change the 'Application name' label for a small selection of your categories, then all other categories will default to either 'Application name' or your 'interface text override' if used.

To rename the 'Application name' label specific to a category:

1. From the Manage workspace, navigate to Applications and click Edit form
2. Select your category name from the drop-down
3. Click the small settings icon that appears
   
4. Open the 'Advanced' section
5. Add your desired replacement to the Application name label field
6. Save
