To Create Labels

To create labels:

To create a mapped attribute mapping, an administrator first defines a semantic label, which provides a more meaningful display name for the mapped attribute. Click Add to use the Create Label dialog, as shown in Figure 32-53.

Figure 32-53 Creating a Label

Description of Figure 32-53 follows
Description of "Figure 32-53 Creating a Label"

As Figure 32-53 shows, labelName is mapped to the task attribute TextAttribute3. The payload attribute is also mapped to the label. In this example, the Text attribute type is associated with labelName. The result is that the value of the Text attribute is stored in the TextAttribute3 column, and labelName is the column label displayed in the user's task list. Labels can be reused for different task types. You can delete a label only if it is not used in any mappings.

A mapped payload attribute can also be displayed as a column in a custom view, and used as a filter condition in both custom views and workflow rules. The display name of the payload attribute is the attribute label that is selected when doing the mapping.

Note the following restrictions:

  • Only simple type payload attributes can be mapped.

  • A mapped attribute (and thus a label) can be used only once per task type.

  • Data type conversion is not supported for the number or date data types. For example, you may not map a payload attribute of type string to a label of type number.
