Creating a label report

Creation

  1. To create a "Label" report, click in the quick access buttons:
    • The window for creating a new element is displayed: click "Report" then "Report".
    • The report creation wizard starts. In the wizard, select "Label".
  2. In this wizard, you must specify:
    • the data source of the report (data file, query, ...). For more details, see Report data source.
    • the information specific to the creation of labels.

Information specific to the creation of labels

The information specific to the creation of labels is as follows:
  • the number of identical copies that will be printed for each label.
  • the format of labels and/or the format of label sheet. This format can correspond to:
    • a custom format:
      1. Select the "<Custom>" element in the "Make" combo box.
      2. Specify the format of label sheet on which the labels will be printed.
      3. Specify the format of labels.
      4. Specify the number of labels that will be printed across the page width.
    • a preset format:
      1. Select the make of labels used in the "Make" combo box.
      2. Select the model of labels used in the "Model" combo box.
      3. The information specific to the labels used (caption, size of labels and number of labels printed across the page width) is displayed.
        Note: Check the "Inch" option to display label sizes in inches.
