Rice Lake TransAct 1.0 - Manual (Page 140)

136 Appendix
Turn back to page 135 to see the ticket generated by this file. Please
note in the DEFAULT.GTK file on the previous page the use of double
quotes (“ ”), straight brackets ([ ]), and curly brackets ({ }). Various
types of information–called fields–can be arranged on the ticket file
using these symbols. The three most important fields you will be using
to create custom print formats are literal text, database, and flag fields.
Literal Text Fields
Literal text fields are contained in double quotes (“ ”) and can contain
any desired characters. The actual characters enclosed in double
quotes will appear on the ticket exactly as typed into the Notepad file.
For example, entering “Thanks for letting us serve you!” will print
those exact words on the ticket (less the double quotes of course).
Following are some other examples:
“ Johnson Grain Elevator ”
“ Gross: ”
“ Tare: ”
“ Net: ”
Database Fields
Database fields denote information stored in the TransAct database. A
database field is placed on a ticket by enclosing the field name in
brackets ([ ]). These names tell TransAct to retrieve the appropriate
data and print it on the ticket in this field.
For instance, entering [Gross] will cause the scale’s gross weight value
to be printed in that space (less the brackets of course).
Following is a list of database field names that TransAct recognizes:
[Ticket Number]
[Account]
- account number.
[Account Name]
[Account Address]
[Account Address2]
[Account City]
[Account Zip]
[Permit]
- permit number.
