What if there was a rule here? If it is, it assumes to be in-tolerance and displays the string in expression 1 in the marked color. If it is not between expression 2 and 3, it assumes to be out-of-tolerance and displays the string in expression 1 in the error color, which is usually red. It first appears to be somewhat confusing, but when you examine an example like this, I think it becomes much clearer.

Again, you will see this in many of the standard label templates. Left Properties unique to a control. ReportControls 1 2 3 4 5 6. Added text to two cells.

A default set of rules is automatically included, so you only need to change the default rules if you want your data formatted differently. A blank custom report defaults to TextOnly. RUL from resources Label Object is only a container and does not have a rule tree. You will be prompted for a Label Template.
