Rename Moodle on the homepage to match the dropdown

On the INX homepage, the LMS+ module appears as 'INX Moodle Integration' in the menu sidebar. Once you are in a module, the dropdown menu that allows you to switch between modules calls it 'INX +LMS'.
We would like this to be consistently named INX +LMS. The word integration is confusing to our end users. The service being provided is an LMS, the way that is facilitated is an integration. +LMS is what was marketed to us, and it's consistent with the other module names too.
The product name Moodle is also irrelevant to end users. We have been using +LMS messaging across the business leading up to our implementation.

David Putz I see that in v5.15 the reverse is being actioned under 'bug fixes' so that the drop down will show as Moodle. Can you explain the reasoning behind this? The product was marketed to us as +LMS and this is the language we have used with our users.

Katherine O'Brien: Hi Katherine,
Apologies for the confusion here. "+LMS" was the custom built learning management system that INX used to offer.
More recently, this offering is no longer being sold but it is still being maintained for customers who have already purchased it. Instead, we now offer a first class integration between InTuition and the open source product Moodle.
Due to Moodle's copyright and trademark requirements, we have to make it clear Moodle is the underlying solution and have used the name "INX Moodle Integration".
In 5.15 the name that will display will be whichever one your company is using. So if you have +LMS already, it will show as +LMS. If you have the Moodle Integration, it will show as "INX Moodle Integration".

David Putz: thanks for the clarification. It's unfortunate in my opinion that the word "integration" was chosen to make this differentiation. As stated above, what the user is clicking on is not an 'integration'. The sync that runs between Moodle and InTuition is the integration. The user doesn't necessarily know or care what an integration is - what they need to know is that they need to click on that link to access the LMS Moodle platform. As a company we would have preferred to be informed of this product name change when we implemented the new LMS, as we could have changed our messaging when we rolled it out.
