Name vs Label

Hi Shippai

● In COMOS, all objects have a name. They can also have a description. Engineering objectscan also have a label.

● These texts are often used to display objects in user interfaces, e.g. in the Navigator or in a query. Other texts may also be displayed depending on the respective user interface and the database configuration.

● Name and label are used for unique identification of objects and for device labeling. If objects can no longer be uniquely identified due to changes to the names or labels, COMOS adjusts the values so that they are unique again.

● If the label is empty, the name is used wherever the label is required.

● Name, label, and description of the engineering object are initially applied from the base

object. Users can edit these properties. Administrators can configure engineering objects in such a way that users cannot change this data.
