Pull Request Description

What and why?

sc-14816

For "phase 1" of primary record types (i.e. "models" > additional "records") some major changes were made in the docs:

  • Site footer updated to match the updated Guides sections (I missed this in a previous PR)
  • Guide under Configuration Configuration > Managing users renamed from "Manage model stakeholder types" to Manage record stakeholder types and relevant updates applied
  • Guides under "Model Inventory" section renamed to to just Inventory — major updates applied to the docs in this section
  • Administrator Fundamentals training module "Customizing Your Model Inventory" renamed to Customizing Your Inventory and major updates applied to the Customize your inventory section (previously "Configure custom fields")

Important

THIS PR IS NOT EXHAUSTIVE DUE TO THE LARGE SCOPE OF WORK. Refer to "What needs special review?" for follow-on updates.

What needs special review?

There were a LOT of updates that needed to be made in this batch. I decided to break the work down further. What's not covered and will be in future Stories (not using the sc link so the GitHub integration doesn't think these Stories are under review due to this PR being linked):

  • 15849: Additional updates to the documentation site, including the "About" & "Get started" sections, and renaming model documentation and model validation Guides to just documentation and validation
  • 15850: Updates to the validmind-library notebooks & templates, pulling those notebooks and templates into the documentation and demo-environment repos, updating the related get started and training sections that relate to the updated notebooks, updating related information in the "developer" portal

Dependencies, breaking changes, and deployment notes

frontend consistency edits

I proposed some changes for the platform UI where the wording was not updated from model where it should have been, or labels/help text were unnecessarily wordy/confusing etc.: https://github.com/validmind/frontend/pull/2456

installation repo link updated

Since we renamed the files in site/model-inventory/** to site/inventory/** (plus some renames of files), a link was broken in the installation repo and fixed here: https://github.com/validmind/installation/pull/219

Warning

BECK YOU CHANGED THE REFERENCE TO THE INSTALLATION BRANCH TEMPORARILY TO RENDER THE PREVIEW/MAKE SURE THE UPDATED LINK WORKS. CHANGE IT BACK BEFORE MERGING!!!

PR Summary

This PR applies a comprehensive renaming and refactoring across the documentation, training materials, release notes, and style sheets in the project. The primary change is to replace references to "model inventory" with generic "inventory" and to change terms such as "model" to "record" where contextually appropriate. For example, links that once pointed to files like /guide/model-inventory/register-models-in-inventory.qmd now point to /guide/inventory/register-records-in-inventory.qmd, and labels such as "View model activity" are updated to "View record activity." Additionally, CSS updates in the footer have been made to improve layout and responsiveness for the user guides sections. The changes affect endpoints in training modules, developer and administrator guides, release notes, and embedded interactive elements. This update is largely a documentation-level terminology update designed to reflect a broader concept in the product rather than a change in core functionality.

The PR appears to be a mechanical and systematic update ensuring that all references to model-specific inventory terms are replaced with the new naming conventions, while the technical functionality remains intact.

Test Suggestions

  • Manually navigate through the documentation site and training materials to check that all links point to the correct refactored pages (e.g., check that '/guide/inventory/register-records-in-inventory.qmd' loads correctly).
  • Verify that all interactive UI elements (buttons, filters, and modals) display updated text and function correctly on both desktop and mobile views.
  • Run a full documentation build and visually inspect pages such as Release Notes, FAQ, and Training modules to ensure the renames are consistent and no broken links remain.
  • Test the CSS changes by comparing the footer layout and spacing before and after the update to ensure that the layout is not adversely affected.
