What are attribute labels?
Attribute labels are text fields designed to override the default attribute name in various site locations, as defined in this article.
Why modify attribute labels?
Configuring attribute labels is part of customizing the TraceGains experience and in turn, specifying your data. These labels are designed to be easily edited, cleared, or adjusted at any time to keep up with changing site needs.
Defining Tab View, UDD, and TraceStation
To better understand where attribute labels apply in Enterprise sites, please review the following definitions:
Tab Views: Sets of attributes linked to tabs at the top of an Enterprise landing page after login (Items, Supplier, Documents, etc.). By default, every role is assigned to an Enterprise tab view for Documents, Items Supplied, and Suppliers tabs. Read this article for more information about configuring tab views.
UDD: A User Defined Dashboard can also be thought of as a custom grid. Attribute labels let you label columns to display data more accurately without changing the default settings of the Tab View.
TraceStation: A comprehensive record-keeping page that stores all critical information related to a particular item, location, supplier, document, etc. The attribute labels within each section of TraceStation can be customized granularly, allowing for more precise and accurate representation of the stored data.
In order to perform any of the following adjustments to attribute labels, the user must have Create or Update permissions. Check your roles for more information.

Click the ‘i’ icon to learn where the current label derives from.
Step 4: Optional: click the blue label symbol at any time to clear the attribute labels.
Step 5: Click ‘Save’ to confirm your changes.

Step 5: Enter text in the box under the ‘label’ column to rename the existing attribute.
Click the ‘i’ icon to learn where the current label derives from.
Step 6: Click ‘Save’ to confirm your choices.
How to modify attribute labels per TraceStation
Order of inheritance: A TraceStation attribute label overrides a Tab View label.
