8.3 Modifying Field Labels
The
Current Label
and
Short Label
columns, which are the only ones that contain
modifiable text, show the current labels of all fields both in the program and on reports.
These are the columns actually used to make changes. To modify any field label, page
down to the field whose label you want to change, delete the current name, type in the
new label name and tab off the cell. To save your changes, click the Save button on the
screen’s toolbar. You are limited to 50 characters on the Current Label, and 20 on the
Short Label.
The USER LABELS DEFINITION screen may also be accessed while working in many
of the individual screens in the program. Select “Labels” from the Edit menu while the
screen is open. This is often a more convenient way to modify field label names because
the only fields listed in the USER LABELS DEFINITION screen are those that exist in
the currently opened screen. Selecting “User Defined Labels” from the Tools menu from
the Home Screen brings up all of the fields in the program at once.
Note
Changing a label through an individual screen will also change the label in
all areas where the label exists.
Finally, the grid in the USER LABELS DEFINITION screen may be exported at any
time by right-clicking anywhere on it with your mouse. This action will invoke an option
box providing you with the ability to save the grid to an Excel spreadsheet.
