Labels for MMT Header and Satellite sessions

Label of Object

For both, MMT header sessions and satellite sessions, you must define the so called Label of Object. This label contains a generic description of the object within the session.

To define a Label of Object for a session:

  1. Create a label in the Labels (ttadv1140m000) session
  2. Link the label to the session: specify the label in the Label of Object field in the Sessions (ttadv2100s000) details session.
Label for Header session

For a Header session, you must define a single label. Points of attention:

  • The text should be a singular noun, for example "Purchase Order" (for the Purchase Order MMT header session).
  • The Context of Label must be Session, Table or Report Description.

The Label of Object is used in the Header session's menu-items to make explicitly clear on what object the menu-item-command executes. For example: the menu-item for inserting a new record in the Purchase Order MMT header session will be called New Purchase Order instead of only New.

Labels for satellite sessions

For a satellite session, you can create two labels with the same label code. One label is used in the satellite's menus, the other is used as the satellite's tab description.

Menu items

Points of attention for the label that is used in the satellite's menu-items:

  • The text must be a singular noun, for example "Order Line" (for the Purchase Order Lines satellite session).
  • The Context of Label must be Session, Table or Report Description.

This label makes explicitly clear on what object the menu-item-command executes. For example: the menu-item for inserting a new record in the Purchase Order Lines satellite session will be called New Order Line instead of only New).

Tab description

By default the session-description of the satellite is shown on the tab. When this description is not suitable, you must create a new label with these properties:

  • The label code must be identical to the code of the other Label of Object.
  • The text must be a plural noun, for example "Order Lines" (for the Purchase Order Lines satellite session).
  • The Context of Label must be General Use.
