Definition

What are custom labels in a CRM?

CRM custom labels are the names you give to parts of your CRM in place of the defaults. In CIPHER CRM you can rename whole modules, so the menu and the screens use the words your team already says out loud. It is a small change that makes the tool feel like it was set up for you.

Every trade has its own words. A training center talks about inquiries, a builder talks about jobs, and a clinic might not say leads at all. CIPHER CRM lets you rename its modules to match. Call Leads Inquiries, call Projects Jobs, or pick any name your business uses, and the new name appears everywhere in the app instantly. Your team no longer has to translate between what the software says and what the business says, which cuts confusion for new staff and keeps conversations and screens in step. Renaming takes no code and no wait. It pairs well with the rest of CIPHER CRM's customization, such as custom fields and custom tabs, and with industry setup, which already starts you with lead sources, statuses and roles suited to your trade. CIPHER CRM covers 31 industries and is used by 192+ businesses.

Rename any section in CIPHER CRM
The problem

What happens without your own section names

Your team says "jobs" all day, but the CRM says "projects", so every new hire asks if they are the same thing.

Staff call enquiries one thing on the phone and see another word on screen, and simple instructions get lost.

You end up writing a cheat sheet that maps the software's words to your own.

The CRM feels like someone else's tool, so people treat it as a chore instead of their own system.

What slips without Rename any section
Capabilities

What you can do with your own section names

  • Rename any module

    Give a module the name your business uses, such as Inquiries for Leads or Jobs for Projects.

  • Shows everywhere at once

    The new name appears across the app instantly, in the menu and on every screen where that module shows up.

  • Your words from day one

    Rename modules while you set up, so new staff never learn the default word in the first place.

  • Change it when the business changes

    If your wording changes later, rename the module again and the new name takes over everywhere.

  • Goes with industry setup

    Picking your industry already provisions starter lead sources, statuses and roles for your trade, and renaming finishes the fit.

  • Goes with custom fields

    Rename the module, then add the fields your trade tracks, so both the words and the details match your business.

Why CIPHER

Why your own section names are better in CIPHER

Most CRMs make you learn their vocabulary. We would rather the CRM learned yours.

  • Everywhere, not in one menu

    The new name shows across the whole app, so you never see your word in the menu and the old one on the screen.

  • Instant

    There is no waiting period. Rename a module and the new name is in use straight away.

  • No code, no ticket

    You rename modules yourself, without a developer or a request to anyone.

  • In every plan

    Custom labels come in every plan, like every other feature.

  3. Confirm the change
