Creating Labels for Attributes and Categories
Labels determine how attributes appear on reports and within the system, and they allow multiple attributes to measure the same characteristic using different datatypes. This enables you to create variants of an attribute that are distinct within the system.
QAD EE uses label master records to provide support for multiple languages for all applications, including IAQ. In IAQ, label master records help standardize the attribute descriptions for multiple languages. For more information about creating labels, see QAD System Administration User Guide.
Note: Best practice is to create labels before creating attributes. Label master records are system-level data that should be secured and accessed by Information Technology personnel.
