2. The Content Source - Database screen allows you to "map" a

column in your data source to the selected object. For example, if
you are creating a name badge, you might "map" the column
containing employee names to a text box.

Keep in mind that you can use this screen to map one column to
your object. If you want to add data from more than one column
to an object, use the

String Builder

to concatenate (join) data.

3. To map a column to the selected object, select a column from the

drop down menu. If you creating any filters or joins for the database
on the Data tab, only the columns you selected will appear in the
drop down list.

4. Click Done after you have made your selection.

3.6.4 Object Data Source - Another Object

You can give a text box or barcode the same data source as another text box or barcode already on
your label using the Bind to Another Object feature. If you want two or more objects to use the same
data, you can go through the adding data source and column mapping functions once, then use the
Bind to Another Object feature to quickly add the same data source and column to a new object.

Steps to Bind an Object to Another Object

1. Select an object (barcode, picture or text box) in the Design window,

then click on the Properties Box > Data Source tab and select
Another Object.

The Bind to Another Object screen appears:

2. Select which object you want to bind from the drop down menu.

3. Click OK on the Bind to Another Object screen.


Note: If you change the data source on the object to which you have bound
another object, the data source will change for both objects
