Add a Label to a Tab in a Hub

You can add a label to a tab in a hub.

Labels allow you to add text or a block of text to a tab. The text can provide on-screen instructions or information for users. The text is not the name or label for a field.

To add a label to a tab in a hub:

  1. In the Navigation pane in the browser application, open Screen Designer in one of the following ways:
    • Go to the Hubs section and select the hub that you want to customize, or go to the Settings section and select Accounting > Chart of Accounts to customize Chart of Accounts. On the form, select Design from the Other Actions drop-down menu.
    • Go to the Settings section and select Screen Designer. In the drop-down list in the title bar of the Screen Designer form, select the application that you want to customize.
  2. On the Screen Designer form, click the tab that you want to add the label to.
  3. In the actions and properties pane on the right side of the form, click Add Label in the Actions section. A Custom Label box is added to the tab on the Screen Designer form.
  4. Be sure that the new label is selected on the Screen Designer form, and complete the following information for the label in the Field Properties section in the actions and properties pane:
    • In the Caption field, enter text for the label.

      Click in the Caption field to open the Caption dialog box where you can see the full text as you type it. Use ENTER on your keyboard to enter text on a new line.

    • Optional: In the Hidden field, select the security roles for which to hide the label text.
  5. Use your mouse to drag and drop the label on the Screen Designer form to the desired location on the tab. You can place only three elements (a combination of three fields, grids, and so on) in one "row" on a tab.
  6. To change the width of the label, hover over it and then click and drag the resize icon .
  7. Click Save in the actions and properties pane.
