+Click the **[?]** option button to replace the text at the top of the dialog with the help text.

+==== Saving the Option Changes ====
+Once changes have been made, click the **[Save]** button to save the changes into the database.
+It is advised that once saved, the managerial dialog which is being changed should be closed and reloaded to ensure that the changes take effect,
