Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Labels specify the user interface text in Microsoft Dynamics AX. Each label has a unique ID. You can search for a particular string to find whether it exists as a label, or you can search for a label ID to determine what string it represents. The following procedures explain how to search for a label string and a label ID.

To search for a label string

1. Click Tools > Label > Label editor.

2. Type the string you want to search for in the Find what box, then click Find now.

   Note

   For a list of the string search characters you can use in the search, see Label Editor.

To search for a label ID

1. Click Tools > Label > Label editor.

2. Enter a label ID in the Find what box, then click Find now.

   Note

   Label IDs consist of the @ symbol followed by a three-letter layer code and a number, for example @SYS1109.
