In order to customize labels, you need to use the Label Designer.<\/p>\n

The best way to start a label is to customize a built-in one<\/strong>. To make sure that you always have a clean base label to go back to, the label forms are Read Only and are protected from editing. To copy an existing label, highlight the form you want to clone and press Alt-F3<\/strong>, just like you would copy an item record.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can start from scratch, but this is much harder. We strongly recommend copying an existing layout.<\/p>\n

Artisan uses what we call “Label Stocks<\/strong>.” This information describes the physical label itself, such as its dimensions, gap size, media type, and more. Label stocks can only be created by CerTek.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Example of a Label Stock<\/em><\/p>\n

Label forms<\/strong> include what fields are on the label, such as text, borders, and color. Label forms include a name that identifies the label and are found in the “Label Forms<\/strong>” section in Artisan.<\/p>\n

First Steps<\/h3>\n

To edit an existing layout, select “Labels<\/strong>” from the Main Menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, click on “Label Designer<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Highlight the label form you want to copy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Press Alt-F3<\/strong> to copy. Click “Edit Form<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Select “Report<\/strong>” and “Summary<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In order to save the form, you must give it a new name<\/strong>. Edit the “Report Name<\/strong>” and “Report Title<\/strong>” as you see fit. They must be different than the form you are copying.<\/p>\n

Click “OK<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Label Designer Tabs<\/h3>\n

At the top of the label designer are different tabs to choose from. These tabs contain dropdown fields that allow you to modify or adjust the label.<\/p>\n

File<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can exit the form by selecting “close<\/strong>” instead of clicking on the “X” button, if you wish. You can also exit by using the\u00a0Ctrl\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0minus\u00a0<\/strong>key on your keyboard.<\/p>\n

\n

Edit<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of these fields are self-explanatory. For example, \u201cUndo<\/strong>\u201d will remove the previous change you made, while \u201cRedo<\/strong>\u201d will restore that change.<\/p>\n
