The label tool searches for the closest feature—using the layer order from the Table of Contents dialog box, and the display pen tolerance (from the ArcPad Options dialog box). The first feature found is labeled. Up to 10 labels are displayed—label 1 is removed when label 11 is displayed. “Nothing found!” is displayed in the status bar if no feature is found.
The label consists of a title and a comment.
The text for the title is determined in the following order: the contents of a field called NAME, TITLE, ID, or the first attribute field. The text for the comment is determined in the following order: the contents of a field called COMMENTS, DESCRIPTION, DESC, or DESCRIPTIO. No comment is displayed if none of these four fields exist.
Labels can be removed with the Clear Selected Feature tool.
