-L Lines Definition

In this tab, you define or modify the name and line number of a label. You can also specify the line skip or a page break after the line, at printing.

Label Definition

The -L Lines tab includes a table where you organize the label lines of the Report. It also includes a Label Definition section that becomes available when you create a line or select a line in the table. You can enter information on a selected label either in the definition section or directly in the table. The table contains editable fields. Some other fields display values in a list. When you move your cursor on a value of the list, the label that is associated with the value is displayed in a tooltip.

Note: The possible actions with the buttons are also available in the contextual menu of the table.
