Label Content - field descriptions

Fields are presented in the order that they are presented in a form. Click a link to see the field descriptions for the form.

Main tab

Your Optiva administrator may have created some special fields appropriate to your business practices. Because these are not standard to Optiva, they are not included in this help document. If you do not see the definition of a field, it is a custom field.

Address Code

Specify a company name. You can click View Object to see details about the company.

Address Desc

Shows the description of the company. This information is displayed on the label information report.

Approval
Select a code that describes the type of approval.

Select a category for the object. An object belongs to only one class.

These values are defined in the C_LABELCONTENTCLASS enumerated list.

Enter the product net quantity as it appears on the product label.

These values are defined in the C_NETQTYDESCRIP enumerated list.

Ingredient Statements tab

Ingredient statements are the source for the ingredient section of the label.

These statements are created for formulas in the Ingredient Statement page.

You can add one or more formula level ingredient statements to the label content object.

Delimiter

Select the delimiter that will be used to separate multiple ingredient statements.

These values are defined in the C_ISDELIMITER enumerated list.

Document Code

Select the document code that contains the text of the corresponding ingredient statement. These values are defined in the C_LABELCONTENTISDOCCODE enumerated list.

Specify an ingredient statement code and version.

Preview tab

When you add ingredient statements to the label content object, the Preview section will remain empty until you click Update Preview.

You must have access to the Document Code value that you selected in the Ingredient Statement tab. Otherwise, the Preview section will remain blank.

Statements tab

You can add free-form text statements to the label content object, such as:
  • Promptly refrigerate any unused portion in a separate container.
  • Caution: Metal edges are sharp.
  • Also available in Cheese flavor.

These statements are not derived from formulas. To save typing, you can assign a pre-configured statement group.

Get Statement Group

Click this link to retrieve a pre-configured statement group that will populate the Statements section automatically.

Label Statement Groups are configured by your administrator. These groups associate statement types with statement text.

Statement Text

Enter the free-form text that is to be used with the Statement Type.

Statement Type

Select the type of statement from the list. These choices are defined in the C_LABELSTMTTYPE enumerated list.

Reports

The Report checkbox can be used to show or hide statements from specific reports.

Content Claims tab

You can automatically assign claim text to your Label Content object.

Apply Rules

Click this button to apply the rules associated with the Claim to the Label Content object.

Optiva will check each parameter code on the rules and compare the corresponding claim definition logic to the source object selected on the Label Content object.
  • Rules that pass the criteria will appear in the grid.
  • Rules that fail the criteria will be omitted from the grid.
Claim

A claim is a collection of rules. Use the Lookup to select a Claim object.

Claim Rule

Name of the claim rule associated with the Claim. Only the rules that pass will display in this column.

Claim Statement

Shows the claim text that is associated with the corresponding rule.

Formula

Enter a formula or select one using the Lookup. This field is displayed only when the Analysis symbol is selected in the Parameters grid.

Use the Source field in the Parameters grid to apply claim rules for Items, Formulas, and Specifications.

Report

Select this check box to print the claim statement on the product label.

Type

The type of claim statement (e.g., Nutritional or Non- Nutritional).

Manual Claims tab

You can manually add claim text to your Label Content object.

Claim Statement

Enter the claim text that you want associated with this Label Content object.

Report

Select this check box to print the claim statement on the product label.

Type

Select the type of claim statement (e.g., Nutritional or Non-Nutritional).

Security tab

This tab identifies who can access the object and the types of access privileges that are granted for the Owner, Group, and Role.

The Optiva administrator configures the default security for all objects of this type. You can specify the security for a specific object here. For example, you can assign the Owner full privileges (Read/Copy/Write/Delete), but partial or no access privileges to the Role and Group.

Context tab

You can define the attributes for an object:
  • Manufacturing and selling locations
  • Brand name
  • Type of product
  • Product usage
  • End users of the product

The context data values that are available for selection are configured by your Optiva administrator.

Although you are not required to enter data in this tab, it is useful for performing searches and for running reports.

Classification tab

You can assign set(s) to Optiva objects. The values that are available for selection are configured by your Optiva administrator.

Sets are a useful method for categorizing your objects and for filtering data when performing lookups and searches. For example, food manufacturers can have separate classifications (set codes) for Baked Goods, Fast Food, Frozen Food, and so forth.

By default, objects are only shown in the lab in which they were created. Once you assign sets to an object, those objects can be seen by users in other labs.

To hide objects from other labs, do not assign them to a set.

Parameters tab

Parameters depicts the properties of an object that can be measured, calculated, or stated.

Your Optiva administrator configures the filters that a parameter is assigned to and the object templates that a parameter has been assigned to.

The types of parameters include:
  • Rollup - pull data from other object parameters.
  • Information - are entered by you and can be used in calculations, but not roll-ups.

  • Equation total - are calculated by Optiva using equations defined by your administrator.

  • Cost - are associated with production cost.
  • Others - as defined by your administrator.
Attribute
Specify additional Attributes.
Filter
Select a filter from the list to view the corresponding parameters.
Less Than

Select this check box to include the parameter value in the Less Than section of the label.

Make Default
Select a parameter filter and make that filter the default for your own user id. Master Users (who are defined in the Role page) will be prompted to assign the default filter to the user code, lab code, role, or global lab (@DFLT). User code is the most specific assignment, meaning it takes precedence over the most general assignment, which is @DFLT.
Min/Max/Target

Pertains to specifications. These columns display the lowest acceptable numeric value (Min), the highest acceptable numeric value (Max), or the target value (Target) for the parameter.

Not Sig Source

Select this check box to indicate that the parameter will be included in the label content, even though the parameter is not significant compared to the other parameters listed in the source object.

Param Code

Shows the parameters for the object designated in the Source field.

Proposed

This row tag is used for Analysis objects.

Recommended

This row tag is used for Analysis objects.

Source

Select a specific object to retrieve parameter values.

Value
Shows how the parameter is reported on the label.
  • For formulas and items, the corresponding parameter value is displayed here.

  • For analysis columns, the result rows are filtered by the LABELCONTENT.ROWTAGS profile attribute and the C_LBLANALYSISROWTAG enumerated list.

  • For specifications, see the Min/Max/Target columns above.

References tab

The References tab is used to link to other objects, such as: Vendors, Customers, Specifications, Formulas, Items, and Projects.

You can add referenced objects to this tab by clicking the Create New Object or Create From buttons. The same reference can be added more than once.

After the new object has been added to the tab, you can click the link to open the object in its own window.

Custom Tables tab

The Custom Tables tab is configured by the Optiva administrator. It enables you to store additional information about the object in a custom table within the Optiva database.

Depending upon how your administrator has configured the tab, you can perform these tasks:
  • Add table rows.
  • Type in column values.
  • Select column values from lookups and lists.
