Repeat these steps for each object type for which you would like security labels to display.
| | When alias attributes are configured for displaying security labels on object information pages in the type manager, by default these attributes are also added to the Create UI layout. However, you should never use these alias attributes for setting or editing security labels.They are intended for viewing purposes only.To avoid incorrect use of alias attributes, PTC recommends removing these alias attributes from any Create UI layouts defined in the type manager.The editing of security labels is only supported through the following UIs: • Set Security Label step in the Create objects wizard • Edit Security Labels • Edit Security Label Attribute Values |
