Displaying Labels as Tags

Product Documentation

View Original

Display labels as tags when you want label content to be in a table.

Tags contain an identifier number that is displayed in the first column in an associated table. The other columns of the table display the object data as defined in the table style. For more information about creating tables, see Tables.

General line and curve label styles can be displayed as tags. Tag display mode is also supported by parcel and alignment segments labels as well as curve labels. You can specify the tag start number and increment numbers in the Table Tag Numbering Dialog Box.

Note

By setting label styles to Tag display mode before creating tables, you can avoid creating unnecessary child styles. For more information, see Automatically-Created Child Styles.

To display labels as tags

  1. In the Label Style Composer dialog box, click the General tab.
  2. Under Label, change the Display Mode value to Tag.
    Note

    Some label types (such as parcel area labels and alignment station labels) cannot be displayed in tag mode and therefore do not have the Display Mode property.

  3. Click OK.
