Create a compound label by combining labels within a label rule or a template. Compound label are useful for:
-
Reducing the number of label rules in a view style
-
Applying different formats to the various parts of a label
-
Eliminating the requirement for a query interpreter
-
Reducing a label footprint so that less open space is available for label placement
-
Using different placement modules for the various parts of a label
The component parts of compound labels behave differently depending on how you create the compound label. You can create compound labels using the methods described below:
-
Combine label components in a label rule. The software places the component parts automatically, and you can move the component parts independently of each other. For more information, see Create a Compound Label Using Label Rules.
-
Combine label components in a label template. The software produces a single independent symbol that contains two labels. If you reposition one of the labels, the software automatically repositions the second label. For more information, see Create a Compound Label with a Combined Symbol.
-
Add multiple label templates to a content module. The software produces two independent labels that you manually place. You can move the component parts independently of each other. For more information, see Create a Compound Label Using the Content Module.
