Posted on by Voltes 954
Hi guys,
 
I created a display method in my table, then I'm included it in that table's field group. The intention is of course for the auto display it in a form.
But I noticed the label of this /display field/ is following the EDT that I'm using. How to change it ? so that in my form, it will display something that I would wanted. I mean where and how to make this happens.
 
The EDT in my display method is LeadTime, whereas I actually want it to be displayed in the form as /Process time/. Why I'm using LeadTime EDT because there is no EDT with label Process time..
 
Thanks

    In the form control property, you can specify the label. If you don't find any name similar to it, you can simply create custom label for it.

    Hi Tony,
     
    There are two ways to change the label. As Martin said you can create a new EDT and give it a new label. Or if you think the EDT you are using is good and no need to create one, then you can keep using the EDT, but on the form where you added the display method, you can change the label/caption property of the form control to override the EDT label.
     
    Thanks,

    Create a new EDT (possibly existing the current one), set the label there and use this new EDT in your display method.
