Predefined Label View
A predefined label view supports displaying a predefined MCI label on a screen.
General Information
ℹ️ A predefined label view is defined with a percent (%) and the characters PL, followed by the view number and then the predefined MCI value in parenthesis. For example: %PL1(VL) to display the Version Label. NOTE: this is an alternate way of placing MCI codes, as the MCI can also be placed on the art page directly with the code. For example %VL. The difference between these is that the PL version can have additional formatting options applied to it.
ℹ️ See Predefined Codes in MCI for the list of available MCI codes.
ℹ️ See MCI for general information on how to use views and common configuration properties available for them.

Text Overflow
The textOverflow option is used to specify what happens when a predefined MCI string is too long to fit in the width defined.
ℹ️ If textOverflow is not specified at all, a predefined label view can become wider than the width if needed to display the MCI value.
ℹ️ Setting textOverflow to an empty string textOverflow: "" will cause the item to be truncated if necessary without any characters displayed
ℹ️ Otherwise, setting textOverflow to one or more characters will truncate the value if necessary and display those characters at the end. i.e. textOverflow: ...
