Changing GoldMine Tab Names

Posted on 09 March 2010 by Bob Ritter

Here’s  how to rename your GoldMine tabs to something more meaningful to your organization. For example, if you use the GM+Views tab, you might want to rename it to Intranet, or Web – this makes the tab name look more appropriate, as the GM+Views tab is a built in web browser for GoldMine.

You can add the following string to each USERNAME.ini file and it will override the default tab names on a user by user basis:

ROTabs1=Summary,Fields,INTRANET,Notes,Contacts,Details,Referrals,Pending,History,Links,Members,Tracks,Opptys,Projects,Tickets,Events,Licenses,Products,Renewal,Sales,Sent

Or, alternatively, you can change every users tab names by adding the following to the GM.ini file:

[User-OverRide:GoldMine]
ROTabs1=Summary,Fields,INTRANET,Notes,Contacts,Details,Referrals,Pending,History,Links,Members,Tracks,Opptys,Projects,Tickets,Events,Licenses,Products,Renewal,Sales,Sent

As you can see, you need to just change the tab name to the required text. Simple as that!

NOTE:  Adding the ROTabs1 field to the .ini file won’t affect the ROTabItems1 values. The ROTabItems1 option holds the order in which each users tabs are displayed – and fickle users will get angry if you change it! All we are doing here is changing the default name mappings, NOT the order of the tabs.
