Use the Label Editor to find, edit, and create labels for all user interface elements. To open the label editor:

Click Tools > Label > Label editor.

Labels can be single words, phrases, or sentences; sentence fragments should not be used because they cannot easily be translated. Labels can be up to 2000 characters long. For additional guidelines about how to create labels, see Best Practices for Labels and HelpText Guidelines.

Search string character Description \ Specifies a specific character. For example, type\$\$ will only return type$$. < or ^ Matches the start of a line. For example, <type returns type this and type that, but not A type that. > or $ Matches the end of a line. For example, type> returns Must have a type, but not Incorrect type used. ? or . Matches a single character. For example, type?abc returns typeXabc, but not typeXXabc. :a Matches any alphabetical character. For example, typ:a returns type, but not typ8 or typ%. :d Matches any numeric character. For example, typ:d returns typ8, but not type or typ%. :n Matches any alphanumeric character. For example, typ:n returns type and typ8 but not typ%. * Matches of any part of the expression when used at the end of a search string. For example, ty* returns t, ty, and type. + Matches expressions that contain the search string, when used at the end of a search string. For example, ty+ returns ty, typ, and type, but not t or y. - Matches part or all of the search expression. The matches always contain the first search character, and zero to one additional characters in sequence from the start of the search string. For example, ty- returns t, and ty, but not y. [] Matches any one character in the search string, but does not match any combinations of characters in the string. For example, [type] will return t and y, but not ty. Additionally, you can combine other search criteria. For example, [^type] will return any letter, but not t, y, p, or e. ' or " Matches labels containing the exact phrase within the quotes. For example, "Type this only" will return labels such as Use should type this only if needed or Type this only if required, but not Only type this. Label ID Matches labels containing the specified label ID. For example, @SYS1234* will return all labels starting with @SYS1234, such as @SYS12341, @SYS12342, and @SYS12343.
