This article applies to versions 4.5.3<\/strong> and later of IFS OI Explorer. See Release History<\/a> for more.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

The data label is one of the most useful of Explorer\u2019s components, as it is used to show time-aware tag and attribute values on Explorer pages.<\/p>\n

The data label displays a single data value, and is often used on schematics to display the value of a single entity attribute. There is also a link to trend data and a point details page for the tag or attribute, respectively. Tags and attribute values that can be overwritten have a write option.<\/p>\n

As well as being able to display a tag or an attribute, a data label can be configured to display: a column value from a tabular dataset, a single value defined in Studio, or an ad hoc calculation using tag and\/or attribute values (see the section Options for Configuring a Data Label Component<\/strong><\/a> at the end of this article). Data labels configured to use an ad hoc calculation have a link to a trend.<\/p>\n

The diagram below shows a configured data label on a precision layout, in Studio mode.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Value<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe data displayed in the data label.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Decimals<\/strong>:<\/td>\nDecimal points for the data.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Units Location<\/strong>:<\/td>\nIf there is a unit configured for a tag (or an attribute value that uses a tag with a unit), then this can be displayed as a prefix or a suffix to the value, or hidden (select None).<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Style<\/strong>:<\/td>\nThe label style (options may vary). If you are a Style Administrator, you can add a new Data Label style<\/a>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Alignment<\/strong><\/td>\nYou can override the style's alignment by clicking on one of the other boxes (style's alignment is outlined in blue; overriding alignment is filled in).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Tooltip<\/p>\n

Hover over the Data label to read the tooltip.\u00a0The tooltip shows the data label\u2019s data definition which could be a tag name, a fully qualified attribute name, an ad hoc calculation, or a dataset query name with value column name.\u00a0Data labels for tags and attributes show units (where available), as well the description.<\/p>\n

And this is how the same data label looks in display mode when you click on it (with a slightly changed value, as this is data for a different time):<\/p>\n
