Production Labels

This page describes the Production Labels form in the Production module.

---

The Production Labels form allows you to print labels for a particular Production or range of Productions. One label will be printed per page.

Production Label
Range Reporting    Numeric
Specify the Productions for which you need labels to be printed. You must specify a Production Number or range of Production Numbers: if you leave this field empty, no labels will be printed.
Illustrated below is a sample PROD_LABELS 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 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. The one departure from the usual procedure is that the Format of each field must be set to 1:

If you find the labels on each row are not aligned properly when printed, set the Format to "Matrix".

If you want static text to be printed on your labels (i.e. text that identifies the information on the labels, such as "Item Name"), follow these steps:

  1. Click the [Field] button and draw a rectangle where you want the static text to appear. The Field dialogue box opens.

  2. Leave the Fieldname blank and enter the static text in the Field Argument field.

  3. Click [OK] to save.

  4. 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.
You can use the following fields when you design the Form Template to be used by the Production Label form:
