Map a barCode label element to a database field
1. Click on the BARCODE icon on the left toolbar to add a barcode label element.
The “Select Barcode Type” dialog will pop up. Select the appropriate barcode type
and click OK to close the dialog.
Under the barcode properties section, select “High Density” in the format area. You can also click
on the barcode and resize it by dragging the resize points in the top and bottom of the barcode
element.
2. Map this barcode label element to the Source Type of “Database” and Field of “BarcodeData”.
Map a label element using Keyboard User input
1. Add a TEXT label element “Quantity:”
2. Add another TEXT label element “user input”, and set the Source Type to “Keyboard”.
Rename to “USER_INPUT” in the “Element Name” field on the properties panel
- This element name will be used later in the tutorial.
Set the “Prompt” field on the properties panel to “Enter QTY:” - this will be the prompt that the
user sees on the Keyboard’s screen.
Save your label template design by going to the menu bar and selecting “File, Save As”.
iMPorTanT:
when creating a label template using a daTabaSe, we recommend that
you also create a separate label template (with the same layout) using the
Keyboard input method. This will allow you to create and print labels
even if an item currently does not exist on your database.
