The Set User Label command contains several functions effecting appliances' labels in the drawing.
After the Auto-Set Appliance User-Label dialog appears below, users select one of three modes in which to set labels: Elevation, Electrical, or Miscellaneous.
Alternatively, the last option can be selected, Remove user-label text, if users want to delete previously-assigned user-label data.
Data entered into the Set User Label dialog will appear in several reports, such as the Appliance List and Appliances By Circuit reports.
Choosing the Elevation
mode will set users' labels to each selected appliance's elevation relative
to either Absolute Zero or the
Benchmark location. By
default, the label's prefix or suffix is 'ht,' but can be modified as
desired.
Prefix places the label before its elevation value.
Suffix places the label after its elevation value.
In the example at the left, the label will show 'ht above floor' as a prefix, relative to the benchmark. The resulting label:
The Electrical
mode will set users' labels of all selected appliances to one of the appliance's
electrical circuit values. Please
be aware that the appliance(s) must be connected to a circuit for this
label to appear in the drawing.
Voltage and Percentage of
drop from the notification device's source will appear like the example
to the left when the Electrical
option is selected.

As expected, choosing one of the three Miscellaneous
options, Layer name, Part
Number, or Model Number
will display the corresponding data in the selected appliances' labels.
In the example at the left, a generic Part Number was selected as the
User Label for the notification device.
The last option, "Remove
user-label text," will remove any previously-assigned user labels
from the Appliance Tab
or the Set User Label dialog above.
This option is useful for mass-removals, so users will not have to manually
access each appliance's Appliance Tab to remove the label.
To run the command, first highlight all appliances whose labels are to be deleted, then select the "Remove user-label text," option and click OK.
PLEASE NOTE: When the Set User Label command runs, no progress message appears. Results display directly in the drawing and in the Appliance Tab's Label dialog box.
