The Custom Label form

Fields:

  • Name: used to identify the HTML snippet. This name is used when configuring the Web Resource that displays the snippet. A name should be unique unless you are working with multiple languages.
  • Locale ID: enter the LCID that corresponds to that label’s language.
  • Value: the content to display. You can either use the rich text editor or the HTML editor.

Configure the Web Resource

The labels are displayed thanks to a Web Resource provided with the solution. Therefore, a label can be displayed whenever a Web Resource can be used (a table’s form, a dashboard or directly within the app thanks to a link in the site map).

Web Resource general configuration
  • Web resource: select www_customlabel.html.
  • Name: unique identifier. You can enter whatever you want, this has no impact on the Custom Label.
  • Label: will be shown on top the label if you check the “Display label on the Form” option.
  • Custom Parameter(data): you must enter labelName={name} where {name} is the name of a Custom Label you have created.

Formatting options
  • Number of rows: it is very important to set the right number of rows depending of the content and the scrolling options. Unfortunately the “Automatically expand to use available space” option is not supported.
  • Scrolling: it is recommended to set the scrolling option to “As necessary” to avoid the content to be hidden in some situations.
  • Border: it is recommended to uncheck the “Display border” option for a better visual integration of the label with your form.
