Label Template Editor

This editor is similar to the Report Template Editor and the Form Editor. With the exception of some differences in its Object Bar, the user interface is essentially the same. While you can technically put any object from the Label Template Editor's Object Bar into a label template, you will generally work with the GridControlObject.
