    You need to create a Backing Sheet for that library containing "helping" texts.......

    Sorry, I have probably misunderstood your question.
    If you need to create the proper SLAB element then follow NEILD's tips.
    If you need to create description texts of SLAB as for the Aveva supplied SLAB libraries, then you need to create backing sheets.
    Anyway....you can read C:\AVEVA\Plant\PDMS12.0.SP6\Manuals\Docs\DRAFT Administrator Application User Guide.pdf Chapter 9 Label Library Administration

    In particular here below you can find an extract:

    Adding Annotation via a Backing Sheet
    When you create each SYTM, you effectively define its origin with respect to its component
    outlines. It is helpful if users can see where this origin is, but you may not want to make an
    origin marker part of the selectable symbol instance. Similarly, you may wish to add a
    descriptive name to the SYTM, as displayed on the LALB sheet, in such a way that the
    name does not form part of the selectable symbol instance. The solution is to position the
    origin marker and descriptive name on a backing sheet that is displayed with, but does not
    form part of, the LALB sheet.

    After creating SYLB you need to create SYTM add your TEXP and STRA etc to this..

    SLAB means symbolic label, it has an attribute named TMRF when used in your draft drawing.
    Once you have created SYTM in the symbols library you can add this as a slab to your draft drawing, once added Q TMRF and it should display the name that you gave your symbol in the library.

    Also, you can create TXTM elements, which will contain descriptions. But this is not the best way.
    Corrado's advice about Backing sheet is better.

    What means "Then in design you set a SLAB TMRF to the name of the SYTM" ?
    I tried to rename SYTM to "SLAB TMRF" but I got error "name can't include spaces".

    SYLB is a SYmbolic Label. You define it in Draft Admin. Then in Draft you will create a SLAB that will reference the SYLB.
    LALB is a LAbel LiBrary. It is an administrative element that may contain one ore more SYLBs.
