New Label Wizard
The wizard helps you to create a label in the model editor.
Purpose
Create a label in the model configuration.
The label should normally be created in a profile which cannot be affected by a migration update. This is normally the unique customization profile when using MID profiles.
Prerequisites
Your role currently being used has the Configure privilege.
Call
In the Properties tool window in the Labels tab, click on 
Create Property.
Structure
At the top, you can see the current step. As of the second step, a "Back" button (
) is active. You can use this to return to the previous step.
The middle shows the selection and input options.
The bottom contains the Next or Finish button and always the Abort button.
Name
Context
Note
A label's logical name should preferably consist of letters and start with a capital letter s that it can be clearly defined from a stereotype name.
The localized name in the model language is used for display in the model editor. It forms the basis for the translation into alternative display languages.
The display languages are taken from the two standard configuration languages, German and English, and any display languages which are set.
Your role must have the Translate Model Elements privilege if you want to use a web service for translation.

The following step depends on the format.
Properties - String
Context
Change the behavior and select a default value, if necessary.
The label may contain multiple values and/or collect entries for all model elements of the same stereotype as a suggestion list.
The lower area Value Constraints can be shown to set requirements for valid values. You can specify the range of the value verification in the Uniqueness drop-down list:
-
No extended verification
-
Consider only elements defined in the namespace
-
Unique in the current (sub)model
-
Unique in the current system model
-
Unique in the entire Innovator model
How to proceed
-
To set a list of predefined values, activate the Has value list check box.
If this option is set, then the value list can be entered in the following Values step.
-
So that all values used for model elements of this stereotype appear in a drop-down list, activate the All values as list check box.
