PreviousLabel TemplatesNextAdding New Avery Type Label Configuration

Last updated 9 months ago

A Label Configuration record must exist for each model of label that you wish to use. The configuration of the Label Configuration contains information about padding, sizing, number of rows, etc. for each page of labels.

To add a new model of Label Configuration beyond what is included with the app, follow the instructions provided under . For help, reach out to us at .

The Label Configuration form is organized into sections to simplify configuration:

  • Basic Information: Specify the name, label number, and state of the label configuration.

  • Page Settings: Configure the page level settings such as margins, and spacing between label rows.

  • Style: Specify if you need advanced CSS styling allowing total control of the design, look, and feel of your labels globally for all templates using this label.

  • Examples: Each sub-section displays an example of how the labels will be generated as a single, row, or full page of labels

  • Label Dimensions (related list): Related list of records, each corresponding to a 'column' in a single 'row' of the label page.

Basic Information (header)

  • Name: The name of the label when used in templates.

  • Id: Model number or Identifier of the label

  • State: Is this configuration Published, in Draft, or Retired.

Page Settings

  • First row padding: Padding (in pixels) before the first row of labels

  • Max labels per page: Maximum number of labels available on each page

  • In between rows padding: Padding (in pixels) between rows of labels

Style

  • Advanced styling: Optional access to advanced CSS that can be used to tweak details of the Label Configuration

  • CSS: The CSS to apply to the labels that use this template.

Examples (Single/Row/Page Label)

After all configuration has been set (including the Label Dimensions below), click the Generate HTML button in the form header to generate these Label Examples.

These examples are used in the Label Template to facilitate configuration of your PDF.

Each time the configuration or dimensions of an Label Config changes, you must click Generate HTML to regenerate example label layouts.

Label Dimensions (related list)

Correlating to a single 'column' on a single 'row' of the label page, these records should be created with an increasing 'Order' field from left-to-right. Each column will have:

  • Type: 'Padding' or 'Label'

  • Width: Pixel-width of the column

  • Height: Pixel height of the row
