<TITLE>Creating and Editing Labels</TITLE>

<p>
A <a href="defs?help#label">label</a> provides a means for marking a particular set of file
revisions for later access. The <i>label spec</i> defines the label's name and its label view. For
more information about labels, see <a href="label?help">Working with Labels</a>.
<p>


<B>Creating a label spec</B>
<br>
There are a couple of ways to create a label spec in P4Web.
<blockquote> <b><A NAME=createbrowser></a>To create a new label spec in P4Web:,</b> 
  <ol type=1>
    <li>Select the <b>Labels</b> tab. 
    <li>Click on the <B>Create label spec</B> link at the top of the page.
<li>Enter a name for the label spec in the <B>Label</B> field.
<li> Edit the remaining fields as described <a href="editlabel?help#labeldesc">below</a>.
<li> When you are finished, click the <b>Save</b> button.
</ol>

  <b><A NAME=createtemplate>To create a label spec using another label spec as a 
  template:</a></b> 
  <P>
<ol type=1>
<li>Select the <bLabels> tab.
<li>Click on the label that you want to use as a template.
    <li>Select <b>Use label as template...</b> from the <b>Action</b> menu. 
    <li>Edit the fields as described <a href="editlabel?help#labeldesc">below</a>.

</ol>
<p>
</blockquote>

<B>Editing a label spec</B>
<br>
<blockquote>
<ol type=1>
<li>Select the <b>Labels</b> tab.
    <li>Click the label that you want to edit. 
        <li>Select <B>Edit label spec...</B> from the Action menu. 
    <li>Edit the label spec as desired, using the field descriptions <a href="editlabel?help#labeldesc">
below</a>.
<li>When you have finished editing the label spec, click the <b>Save</b> button.
</ol>
</blockquote>

<P><A NAME=labeldesc><B>Label spec field descriptions</B></A> <br>
  The label spec consists of the following values: 
<table width="66%" border="1" cellpadding="1">
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Field</b></td>
    <td><b>Description</b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Label</b></td>
    <td>The unique name of this label. </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Update</b></td>
    <td>Shows the date when this label spec was last modified. </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Access</b></td>
    <td>The date and time the label was last accessed. </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Owner</b></td>
    <td>The label's owner. By default, the user who created the label. Only the 
      owner of a label can <a href="labelsync?help">update its contents</a>. </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Description</b></td>
    <td>Optional information that can be used to describe this label spec. </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>Options</b></td>
    <td>Can either be <i>locked</i> or <i>unlocked</i>. If the label is locked, 
      its contents cannot be <a href="labelsync?help">changed</a>. </td>
  </tr>
  <tr> 
    <td><b>View</b></td>
    <td>A list of depot files that can be included in this label. No files are 
      actually included until you sync the label. </td>
  </tr>

#1 12234 Matt Attaway Rejigger P4Web project in preparation for official sunsetting

The bin directory contains the last official builds of P4Web from the
Perforce download site. P4Web is soon to be completely sunsetted; these
builds are here for folks who don't want to build their own.

To better handle the archived builds the source code has been moved into
a separate src directory.
