Adding labels

Use the Change labels command and the Add button to add labels to a database. You can add labels for different types of information, e.g. text, numbers, dates, Yes/No only, and specify the number of characters which can be typed for a text label.

You can also use the Options button to control how the label information is handled by the Data program, e.g. if the label should be checked when looking for telephone numbers when DTMF dialling is used, and how many characters are used when sorting the entries.

Important: It is not possible to change the data type for a label or the number of characters length of a text field after the label has been set. It is best to plan the database and label types first.
