Illustrated below is a sample ITEM_LABEL record from the
Form Template register in the System module. Note that you should only add each field once to the Form Template: the label printing function will print the fields the appropriate number of times on each page.
Add the fields to the Form Template design in the usual way (click the [Field] button and draw a rectangle where you want the field to appear). When the 'Field' dialogue box opens, specify the Fieldname.
If you find the labels on each row are not aligned properly when printed, set the Format to 1.
If you want static text to be printed on your labels (i.e. text that identifies the information on the labels, such as "Item No."), follow these steps:
- Click the [Field] button and draw a rectangle where you want the static text to appear. The 'Field' dialogue box opens.
- Leave the Fieldname blank and enter the static text in the Field Argument field.
- Click [OK] to save.
- Do not use the [Text] button for this purpose: any text that you add to the Form Template this way will only be printed for the first label.
