Rules for Specifying Labels

When specifying labels, be aware that:

A period must precede a label.
A label can have from 1–7 characters.
You can specify more than one label for each record.
You can override a label by creating a label with the same name as the existing label.
You can specify and use labels only as long as you are browsing a member—labels are discarded when you stop browsing the member.
