- Select the variables you want to integrate into the labelling from
   the list **Fields**.
   
You can use the field **Bar labelling** to define the bar labelling
of activities and subprojects.

- The field **Type** shows which of the objects - activities or
   subprojects - will be labelled.
- The field **Position** shows the position of the labelling.
- The field **Content** shows the content of the labelling. Depending
   on the preferred position, set the cursor on the corresponding
   content field.
- Enter either the labelling or select a predefined field from the drop
   down list **Fields** and doubleclick.
- Click on the button **OK**.

**Notes**

If several activities are shown in a row, the internal activities can be labelled just below.
