Fixing Top and Left positioning of the label in Maximo Starting in Maximo 7.6 there is a System Property that determines if the field labels in applications displays above or beside the screen control. This property is called " mxe.webclient.verticalLabels " and is set to 1 (above) by default on a fresh install and 0 (beside) by default on an upgrade.
