# Configuring Activity Instructional Text

Abstract

Administrators and users with access rights can configure unlimited instructional text to display on an Onboard activity screen in the BrassRing Platform.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> All instructional text is usually uploaded through the Manage Display Text screen.

After uploading the instructional text, users proceed to the Manage Job Workflow screen and select/map the display text that should appear for an activity screen while configuring that activity step.

Users also have the ability to create new instructional text on the fly in addition to choosing the existing instructional text.

All new instructional text created for an activity can be selected to display on any other activity screen as well (while configuring that activity).

> [!NOTE]
> Important

  1. To display existing instructional text, select the **Map Existing Keys** radio button and select the appropriate key from the **Activity Instructional Message Key** drop-down list. Note: Instructional text keys can display in a specific order, which helps you easily select the keys. This allows you to find the display text through numerical order in production (as you would do in staging). This helps avoid errors when the display order is not maintained correctly when the client is created in production out of the configurations from stage. The order is based on the key number: Page.label.ActivityInstructionalMessage1, Page.label.ActivityInstructionalMessage2, until the latest created key number.
  2. To include new keys and text to use for instructional text, select the **Create New Keys** radio button and enter the new key in the text box that appears.

For example: `page.label.NewKeyMessage`
15. Select the **Save**icon ![image118.jpg](https://cdn.us.document360.io/4bb62c4c-9973-48ec-ab93-23d4b1755503/Images/Documentation/97a7d5b2-10bd-4f5c-8654-c28e7a602e68.jpg) to save changes to the **task**.
16. **Save the overall workflow** in the Manage Job Workflow screen. Important: Make sure you save both the task AND the workflow. If you do not save both places the changes will be lost when you navigate away from the screen. The changes to the tasks and workflow will not take effect until a new job is created.
17. You can create new messages or select existing messages from within the workflow. If you need to edit an existing message, that change must be made within **Display Text** settings.
18. Navigate to the **System Configuration > System Settings > Display Text > Manage Display Text** screen.
