Quick Reference

To create a label template

1. In the dbConnect Manager, click the New Label Template button.
2. In the New Label Template dialog box, enter a name for the label template in New Label Template Name.
3. To open the Label Template dialog box, click Continue.
4. In the Label Template dialog box, Label Fields tab, select a field to appear in the label from the Field list. Click Add to add it to the label.

   You can also enter any additional static text that you want to precede or follow the label directly in the Label Template dialog box. For example, you might create a label template that uses the field Room Number from a room database table. If you want the field name to precede the field value when the label is created, enter Room Number: in the Label Template dialog box before selecting the field from the Field list.

5. Repeat step 5 for any additional fields that you want displayed in your label.
6. Click OK.
