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.

If Vantagepoint is set up to use multiple languages, see Screen Designer and Multiple Languages for some special considerations.

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 select Settings > General Ledger > Chart of Accounts to customize the Chart of Accounts. On the Actions bar of the form that displays, select Other Actions > Design.
    • Select Settings > General > Screen Designer. In the Application field at the top 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. On the Actions bar, click Other Actions > Add Label.
    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:
    1. In the Caption field, enter text for the label.
    2. Click in the Caption field to open the Caption dialog box where you can see the full text as you type it.
      The text displays in a text box. Press the ENTER key on your keyboard to enter text on a new line. Click on the text box toolbar to display the text editor tools for formatting the text. Click Apply to save and return to the Screen Designer form.
    3. 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 on the Actions bar.
