Flag Records With Data Labels

Data labels are a convenient way to flag records. For example, you can create a "Hot Lead" label for records that represent important prospective clients or a "Follow up" label for those that you need to contact again. The label is visible in the standard Logiforms column named Labels in the Database Browser and you can sort and filter on the values in this column.
