Labels for command and function keys

Use the priority table to determine the generated label for a command or function key.

Purpose

A command key such as F3 or function key such as HELP is displayed on a WebFacing Web page with a button for submitting F3 or HELP respectively. The text for the label is defined automatically during conversion or run time based on what you have in your DDS, in a Web Setting that you have defined, or in the project properties of your WebFacing application. If more than one label is defined for a key, WebFacing uses the Table 1 table to determine which label will appear in the browser.
