Info labels (page captions) provide the short information about pages in the tracking layout. The labels are configurable. You can set the same, or different labels for each tracking layout. Anyway, the labels are the same for all the pages in a given layout.

A label can contain following information about editions, pages and users:

Item

Purpose

Code

Page workstate

Display the page workstate

&w

In use

Display No if a page is not in editing, or Yes, if the page is edited

&i

Last update time

Display the time of the last manual or automatic refresh

&l

Closing time

Page deadline time

&c

Layer users

Display the name of layer users

&u

Page caption (as in versions prior to 2.0)


&a (2.0 and newer)

Page number


&p (2.0 and newer)

Page section


&s (2.0 and newer)

Page zone


&z (2.0 and newer)

Title


&t (2.0 and newer)

Edition number


&n (2.0 and newer)

Edition name


&e (2.0 and newer)

Edition date


&d (2.0 and newer)

Changes on info labels in version 2.0

removed the label height textbox from layer option dialog: the height of the caption is automatically set;

all caption content are customizable: the milestone status and page caption are not hardcoded anymore (are still set as default);

milestone status(if set visible) is set at the top of the layout caption

milestone status is visible checking the checkbox "Show milestone status" from layout caption (checked as defualt)

new keywords used on Info Label, this is the complete list:

If no caption code is entered,  pages appear with no caption.

Breaking change: for existing tracking layouts, edit the layout preferences and add &a in the info label field, to restore the expected page caption.
