In TENGRAPH, you can customise the label display, size and colour by accessing the Layer Action menu.

Using the Layers panel, navigate to the layer you want to change and click on the > arrow. 

A new Tab opens revelling what Label changes can be done on the map display.

This is the Layer Actions menu for the Live Tenement layer.

Using this menu, you can turn live tenement labels on or off using the Toggle labels option.

You can also change the label colour and font size by opening the Customise labels window.

Clicking on the Customise labels button, opens a new window where you can choose a different attribute field to generate labels shown on the map display.

Toggling or customising labels affects the entire layer – not single features within the layer.

Clicking on the Reset to Default button will change the label display back to their original properties.
