You can change the terms used in the **Customise** section of your workspace settings. You'll need to be an admin or an owner of the workspace to customise the terms. 1. Select **Settings** in the left sidebar, then select **Customise**. 2. Set new singular and plural terms for the items that you want to change. 3. Click **Save**. ### Customising the terms for OKRs * Leave *Objective* as is. * Replace *Outcome* with *Key Result*/*Key Results*. * Leave *Initiative* as is. {% hint style="info" %} If you selected to use "OKRs" during the set up, your terms would have already been set to Objectives, Key Results, and Tasks {% endhint %} ### Customising the terms for NCTs * Replace *Objective* with *Narrative/Narratives.* * Replace Outcome with *Commitment/Commitments*. * Replace *Initiative* with *Task/Tasks*. ## Customising Initiatives Labels Tability has 9 default states for Initiative Labels: Backlog, Planned, Spec/Design, In Progress, In Review, Ready, Blocked, Done and Abandoned. You can change these settings in the **Customise** section of your workspace settings.
