Label Editor

Use this editor to maintain the properties of a label.

Labels are used instead of language-dependent text in these LN components:

Forms
Reports
Domains
Menus

Labels can also be used in LN Workbenches.

A label consists of a name and a content description. Use the label name as a reference to the label description. The description of a label can differ by language, but the label name remains the same for all languages.

You can specify a label description for each label code. This is the label text you can edit and translate. You can define different variants for a label. Therefore, a label can have a different description in a different context or with a different length or height.

The label editor automatically calculates the length and height of a label description. The length is the number of characters of the description. The height is the number of lines of the description.

Note: The Languages property of the application, assigned to the current software development project, determines the primary language of a label. It determines whether you can specify secondary languages and which languages are used as secondary languages.

For more information on the application properties, see Create a new Application.
