Understanding new features in Maximo 7.6 - Label Positioning
Body
Maximo 7.6 has recently been released and adds a number of great new user interface
features.
Starting in Maximo 7.6 there is a System Property that determines if the field labels in applications
displays above or beside the screen control. This property is called mxe.webclient.verticalLabels
and is set to 1 (above) by default on a fresh install and 0 (beside) by default on an upgrade.
To change the value go to System Configuration, Platform Configuration, System Properties. Then
filter for the correct property value, change the global value, and save. Lastly select the check box
beside the property and then click on "Live Refresh". With the property set to 1 the labels will display
above and look like this:
With the property set to 0 the labels will display beside and look like this:
The mxe.webclient.verticalLabels property now gives you a choice of displaying your information more horizontally
across the page or vertically down the page.
