Terminology customization

Teams call work different things. ScopeKite separates canonical names (fixed identifiers in routes, APIs, and events: work_item, cycle, module, objective) from visible labels, which owners/admins set per workspace.

  • Settings → Vocabulary offers presets (e.g. Scrum: Stories & Sprints) and stores overrides per noun.
  • An illustrative preview shows how row labels read with the chosen vocabulary — sample data, never live rows.
  • The active preset is shown beside the preset buttons — including Custom when the overrides no longer match any preset (for example after editing one noun).
  • A canonical → visible map lists every concept the API stores next to the word this workspace displays for it, so the separation is visible rather than implied.
  • Every surface, empty state, and notification resolves labels through one resolver; the API and URLs never change, so integrations and links survive renames.
