Vocabulary and Customisation

Many of the tables in VT can be renamed to suit your program. For example, the main table is called “companies” but you may refer to them as “ventures”. The UI can be programmed to substitute your vocabulary:

Do you call your Mentors ‘Associates’? Would you prefer your Review Meetings to be called ‘Panels’ or ‘Stage Gates’ - this can all be configured within your Venture Tracker.

This is a setup option and is not currently a user setting - please contact your VT support team to make changes.

Important! This change only exists in the presentation layer. If you write reports, advisories (rules) or dashboards, you will need to query the original table names and apply your vocabulary to the output, in this example the original table name is ‘companies’ the report will show 'Ventures’.

SELECT title, dateJoined 
FROM companies AS Ventures
WHERE enabled = TRUE;
