Harness, Section,
and Flow Action forms
Adding a SmartLabel
|
|
A Smart Label is a text label that is clickable. At runtime, if the user clicks the label text, a pop-up SmartInfo section appears.
By default, Smart Label text appears in DARK RED FONT, to indicate to users that the label can be clicked. You can change this through a CSS style definition in the workforms style sheet that applies to your application. For example, you can update the workforms style sheet to include a style definition such as
.smartInfo { color:#003366; font-weight:bold }
Adding a Smart Label is similar to adding a text label, except that the Format field value is SmartLabel and accepts parameters.
