Edit Barcode Label Template

The application includes several features that let you design and print barcode labels for use in item and patron tracking. Before printing labels, you must design templates for both the full page of labels, and for each individual label on the page. The design of page templates is performed through the Edit Barcode Page Template form. Once a page is defined, you can create label templates for use on that page through the Edit Barcode Label Template form. To access this form, click the Label Templates button on the Administration panel of the Main form. Printing is done through the Print Barcode Labels form.

The Edit Barcode Label Template form is actually two forms, a "parent" form (the List Maintenance Codes form) that lists all existing templates, and a "child" form that lets you add a new item or edit the properties of a single item in the list.

To define a template on the child form, fill in the data fields, confirm the look of the template in the Label Preview field in the bottom-left corner of the form, and then click the OK button to save the template.

The Edit Barcode Label Template form includes the following data fields.

The Selected Item Properties field changes based on the type of item selected in the Label Items field. The field consists of multiple rows of settings that define the selected item. To change the value for a row, click in the second column for that row, then type in the new setting value. Many property rows contain features to help you select the value. When such rows are active, a small button appears on the right-most edge of the row. Click this button to modify the setting in a more user-friendly way.
