Many companies—and even individual teams within the same company—use different terminology to describe the same concepts. For example, what Uncountable calls an “ingredient” might be referred to as a “raw material” at one company and simply “material” at another. These variations can extend to other entities like projects, recipes, and tests. For reference, the Uncountable Glossary provides a complete list of the platform’s default terminology.
To help teams integrate Uncountable into their existing workflows, we offer terminology overrides, allowing users to customize key terms. These overrides can be set at either the account level (by Admins) or the individual user level.
How to Adjust Terminology
Click your account name in the navigation bar and select User Settings.
Select Change Language.
The terminology overrides table contains a list of terms used in the platform, for which users can add terminology overrides. In this table:
- The Account Override column can only be modified by Admins.
- The User Override column is editable by all users.
Simply enter your preferred terms—including singular and plural versions—and refresh the page. The updated terminology will then appear throughout the platform.
If you encounter terms in Uncountable that aren’t available for override, please contact your Account Manager for assistance.
