Every control for a data field contains both a label and the input area of the control. The
label is displayed left of the input area, except with check boxes; the label of a check box
is displayed right of the input area of the check box. When you add a check box to a form,
the check box control is automatically aligned both left and right with other input controls
in the appropriate column. As a result, the area of the form left of a check box is
empty.
SuppressLabel Property
To hide the labels of the controls placed within a
column, you should set the SuppressLabel property value of the
PXLayoutRule component of the column to True. Then within
the column, all check boxes are placed without any space to the left of the input
control, and the labels of other controls are hidden.
Note:
If needed, you can left-align a check box in the column by setting to True the
AlignLeft property of the control.
The SuppressLabel property affects all of the controls of the group that
are placed under the PXLayoutRule component with the True value of
this property. The SuppressLabel property value must be defined for every
PXLayoutRule component for the controls placed beneath the component
and included in the same column; this property is never inherited from the previously
declared property.
Note:
The SuppressLabel property value is never
applied to PXLayoutRule components that have the
ColumnSpan property value specified.

tab item on the Customers (AR303000) form
is initially displayed with Parent Account displayed, as shown in the
