Using labels to name areas

It might 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"

In this case, "DespatchAccum" could be used whenever area 10 is referred to, 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:

Choose System | Labels.
Enter a Name for the label.
Enter an expression to be substituted for the label.
Click Add to append a new record, or Replace to modify an existing record.
