Label properties

General

Labels are sections of text that users cannot change. Labels can be used to provide instructions, descriptions of one or more interface controls, or any other pieces of helpful information. They can also be used to show custom information, or information that Infor Public Sector automatically generates, such as a message that tells users how many records they have found in a search or a message that shows the total amount of fees for work your agency has performed. To name a control, you'll want to use the control's "Label" property under Appearance instead of adding a label control.

PropertyDescription
ID (advanced)Identification code for the label. Infor Public Sector automatically generates an identification code for each control you add in the Page Editor. Although you can change these identification codes, we recommend that you use the default values.

Access

PropertyDescription
ViewAccessId (advanced)Access ID for the permission that users must be granted to view the label.
ZoomAccessId (advanced)Access ID for the permission that users must be granted to zoom from the label.

Appearance

PropertyDescription
CssClass (advanced)CSS class that defines the style that will be applied to the label. The classes used in the Infor Public Sector interface are defined in the standard.css style sheet, located in the client subdirectory within your Infor Public Sector directory.
IsVisible (advanced)The label will be hidden if you set the IsVisible property to False.
ToolTip (advanced) Tooltip that will be displayed when a user hovers over the label.
ShowInPortal (advanced)For detail pages, this property indicates whether the label will be included when the detail is displayed in Infor Rhythm for Civics.

Behavior

PropertyDescription
AllowInternalLineBreakIndicates whether Infor Public Sector will insert line breaks if the label’s text is longer than the available width.
AllowWordBreakIndicates whether Infor Public Sector will break long words when inserting internal line breaks for the label.
SetInnerHtmlIndicates whether the label’s text uses HTML formatting.
Enabled (advanced)Indicates whether the label is enabled for user interaction.
FollowsAfter (advanced)ID of the control that the label follows in the page's tab order.
ShowLinkOnlyOnHover (advanced)Indicates whether the label will be formatted as a hyperlink. Links in Infor Public Sector are typically indicated by underlining. This property only applies if you have linked the label to an InfoViewer by specifying a method for the InfoViewer property.
TabIndex (advanced)Index number representing the position of the label within the page’s tabbing order. The tabbing order is the order in which elements receive focus when a user presses the Tab key.

Format

PropertyDescription
FormatType Type of data the label will accept. Specifying a format type maintains data integrity by limiting the kind of data the label will accept. If the label is bound, ensure that the format type that you specify is compatible with the data type for the property that the label is bound to.

Layout

PropertyDescription
HeightHeight of the label in pixels. Note that the height and width specify the amount of space allotted for the label on the page, not necessarily the height and width of the actual text.
WidthWidth of the label in pixels.
Left (advanced)Position of the left edge of the label, in pixels.
Top (advanced)Position of the top of the label, in pixels.

Rules

PropertyDescription
InfoViewer Method that will be executed when a user attempts to open an InfoViewer by clicking on the label. This must be a method defined for the applet that the page is linked to.
OnRenderFormula Formula that is executed when the label is rendered on the page. For example, you can use a formula to show or hide the label by changing the value of the Visible property.

Value

PropertyDescription
BindBusiness object property that the label is bound to, and that provides the label’s text. For example, you could add a label that shows the identification number of a record that a user is viewing, or a label that shows the total amount of fees that are still owed for work your agency has done. Although you can bind any property to a label, the property you use must be compatible with the label's format type.
