Finding the Page

In Web Office Admin, navigate to: Content Management > Localization.
[CLIENTID].admin.directscale.com/#/Localization
Static vs. Dynamic Content
The Web Office features static and dynamic content. You can customize most elements using the appropriate Web Office Admin page. However, some elements are “hard-coded” into the HTML and are thus static.
For example, in the Web Office, the widget header “Business Snapshot” text is static.

Use the search bar and search “Business Snapshot” in the Localization page to find and edit the string.
