Global Labels

Global Labels are text strings that can be used in the whole project. All devices that use a certain global label show the same text.

Global Labels can be used in:

• channel labels
• selector lists
• TFT elements
  • Transparents
  • user defined buttons
• Ember+

note

As of Toolbox V10.1 Global Labels can now be defined as local and are not updated on all devices, making locally variable labels possible.

To insert a Global Label in a Label box use braces with the Global Label number, for example {1} for Global Label number 1 in complete length.

Global Labels can be limited to a certain number of characters. Just add the number of characters, separated by a colon : to the Global Label number - for example {1:16} will show only the first 16 characters of Global Label number 1.

Global Labels can be set by:

• TFT Keyboard (Show keyboard options)
• Selector (Assign to Global Label option, see Selectors)
• Ember+
• Routing Software

Each Global Label is defined with Default Text, Description and a Master Device.

The Label Infos column shows you, which device and which elements set / modify the Global Label.
