Label of object

Label for Header session

For a Header session, define a single label. Note the following:

• The text should be a singular noun, such as "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 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 is called New Purchase Order, instead of 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 as the satellite's tab description.

Menu items

For the label used in the satellite's menu-items, note the following:

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

This label makes 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 is called New Order Line instead of New.

Tab description

By default, the session-description of the satellite is shown on the tab. When this description is not suitable, 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, such as "Order Lines" for the Purchase Order Lines satellite session.
• The Context of Label must be General Use.
