Data Driven Labels

Using MS Access, a developer may modify labels on the Task Screen or New Task Screen. This is accomplished by modifying the CUSTOM table, which contains the following fields:

·      FORM_NAME

·      CONTROL_NAME

·      CONTROL_VALUE

·      CONTROL_VISIBLE

·      MANDATORY

To change a label on a form, simply add a record, setting the following values:

·      FORM_NAME = the name of the form as it appears on the Title Bar at the top of the window.

·      CONTROL_NAME = the text of the label as it originally appears

·      CONTROL_VALUE = the new value of label

·      CONTROL_VISIBLE = whether or not to show the label

·      MANDATORY = Whether or not this field is required

For example, to change the label ‘Due Date:’ to ‘Target Date:’ on the ‘Task Screen’, add a new record to the CUSTOM table as follows:

·      FORM_NAME = ‘Task Screen’

·      CONTROL_NAME = ‘Due Date:’

·      CONTROL_VALUE = ‘Target Date:’

·      CONTROL_VISIBLE = ‘Yes’

·      MANDATORY = ‘No’
