Wasp Labeler User Manual
3.6.3 Object Data Source - Database
You can attach, or bind, your barcode, graphic or text box to a database to obtain data. For example, if
you are creating conference badges, you may have attendee names in one database. You can create
your label, then attach various objects to different columns in the database from which they can pull
data. You might have a text box pull data from the company column and a barcode with a caption pull
data from an employee name column. Then when you print the badges, the appropriate data will
appear in the text box and encoded on the barcode.
There are three ways you can attach a database.
1. You can select it from the Data tab , allowing you to select which columns you want to make
available to your label project and to sort/filter data.
2. You choose a database on the Properties Box > Data tab for a selected object.
3. You can select it when you create substrings on the String Builder screen.
Steps to Select a Database Column as the Data Source
1. Select an object (barcode, picture or text box) in the Design window,
then click on the Properties Box > Content tab and select
Database, or select Database Column from the drop down list on
the String Builder screen and click Add Substring. The following
screen appears.
Note: If you have not already selected a Data Source on the main
Data Source tab, the following message will appear:
Click Yes to go to the
Data tab and select a Data Source .
