Use a Label to Name an Area

It can be easier to remember an area by a meaningful label (name) rather than a number. For example:

Label Name

DespatchAccum

Expression

10

Comment

Label Area 10 as "DespatchAccum"

This would allow you to use "DespatchAccum" whenever you need to refer to area 10. For example:

Command

CONVEYOR = 1;

Area

DespatchAccum

Comment

This command belongs to Area 10 (DespatchAccum)

Note: If you leave the Area field blank on a form, the command does not belong to any particular area - it is assigned to every area of the plant.

To label an area:

  1. In the Standards activity, select Labels.
  2. In a blank row, click in the Project cell and select the required project.
  3. Enter a Label Name for the label.
  4. Enter an expression to be substituted for the label, for example, the number of the area you would like the label to represent.
  5. Enter a relevant Comment, if required.
  6. Click Save.

Note: To modify an existing label, click in the individual cells and select or enter the required value.
