Graphics section labels
Labels are a type of report that shows real-time data from records or associate records that are linked to an entity in a drawing. For example, you can create a label with the space business object to show data from the Name, Current Use Space Class, and Area fields.
The positions of labels in a drawing are derived from the label positions that are published from IBM® TRIRIGA® CAD Integrator/Publisher. The labels also use other properties of the published labels, such as the orientation of the labels. If no label is published for an entity, the label in a graphics section is displayed as close to the center of the entity as possible.
In a graphics section, you can apply labels to the drawing by style or by filter.
Label style
Label styles define the fields that you want to report on for each entity that is linked to a record. When you choose to apply labels by style, you can apply only a single label style. The label style that you choose applies to all entities that are linked to records that match the selected module. The records must also match the business object and form if specified in the label style.
On the Label Style page, you can view, add, modify, or delete label styles.
In a graphics section, you can select a label style to apply to linked entities.
For each label style that you add, you must specify a name and a module to which the label style applies. You can choose to specify an ID or an ID is automatically generated for your label style. You must specify a set of definitions that control line spacing, height, and color for each label style. You can specify the main business object that is linked to the drawing, and you can specify the form. When you specify the main business object, you can select the fields that you want to display.
Label filter
Label filters define a label style or set of label styles to apply to the results of a report based on report criteria. You can use a single label filter to apply multiple label styles simultaneously to a single drawing.
On the Label Filter page, you can view, add, modify, or delete label filters.
In a graphics section, you can select a label filter to apply to the drawing.
For example, you can run a space report that filters for an occupancy status of Occupied. The space report returns the set of spaces that are occupied. You can create a label filter to show one label style for a floor boundary and a different label style for a space boundary. Your label filter can apply one label style to the space boundary that is associated to the sales organization. Your label filter can apply a different label style to the space boundary that is associated to the accounting organization. When you apply the report, the occupied spaces in the report result use the label styles that you specified in your label filter.
You can add more criteria to your filter and you can assign an order to your criteria. An order of 1 is the highest priority criterion. The label style from the priority 1 criterion is applied to the records that are returned by the first criterion. If there is a second set of criteria, the label filter applies the label style to records that are returned by the second criterion. Lower priority criteria are applied only to records that are not returned by higher criteria.
