Words used in ABMS

This page explains the words and labels that come back across ABMS, grouped by area. Each row gives the label as it appears with English chosen, the same label with Norsk chosen (useful when a colleague’s screen is in Norwegian), what it means and where you meet it, with a link to the page that explains it. Module names, sections, statuses and receiver names are your company’s own setup, so some of the words you see in your modules are not listed here.
