Thanks Ryan. I agree that changing these labels via the Admin UI is preferred.
Joe and others - please disregard my previous email - I somehow missed the latter half of the thread! Joe, as you create your hierarchy please give us feedback via our issue tracker (https://mifos.dev.java.net) of any enhancements you would like to see with the Mifos user and office features.

Hi Joe, You are correct, we generally don't recommend users interacting with the database directly, but if it worked, what can I say ;) Normally though, if you wanted to change this label and others you would: 1. Login as an admin user 2. Select the Admin Tab 3. Under the Data display and rules, select "Define Labels" 4. Under the Personal Information section is the place where you can change this to say "Driver's License" Cheers, Ryan > From: Joe Terry <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:38:21 -0800 > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Subject: [Mifos-users] Users not showing in System Users list ... > > Hello All, > > Ok, I'm a noobie and I'm making noobie mistakes .... > > But it seems that once you add a few (two) branch offices, then > whoever you are logged in as ... belonging to one of those branches > ... that is the personnel base that you can view and manipulate, from > that branch. > > I'm trying to create on user ( me ) that can see all branch personnel > and ... according to the famous quote ...
