In this page, you can create formatted print label data files.
You can create sample print labels for:

• ${ColorMaterial.Plural}
  
• ${Colorway.Plural}
  
• ${Material.Plural}
  
• ${MaterialSample.Plural}
  
• ${Style.Plural} and ${Sample.Plural}

NOTE: The sample print label destination directory must be accessible from the installation server. You must have atleast the Configuration Editor role to configure sample print labels.

How to specify the target folder

1. In the Target Folder section, in the Label Generation Target Folder field, type the destination directory on the installation server in which you wish to store the files. For example, c:\labels, and then press Enter. 

How to define a ${LabelGenerationInfo.Name}

1. In the Templates table, mouse-over ${Actions} and select ${New} ${LabelGenerationInfo.Name}
2. A new row is created in the table. From the drop-down list, select a type.
3. Enter necessary details for the corresponding columns/cells that are editable and indicated by a small grey triangle displayed in the right hand corner of the cell.
   

• File Extension: Enter details of the template file extension
• Filename Template: Enter details of the template file name
• Template: Enter meta data content for the output file. When defining a template, remember the following:
• Two pound signs ## at the start of the line indicate that the line is a comment
• To define how date and time attributes are formatted, use the value #set...Time Formatter
• The value $node refers to the content node
• To include the Centric 8 attribute Node Name, use NodeName without any spaces
• Use the values $ and $! based on the following rule:
  • If no data exists using the specified path, then the output file contains either the path name or is empty. For example, if NumberOfCopies is not available, then,

    
    

    <copy>$NumberOfCopies</copy>produces
    <copy>$NumberOfCopies</copy>
            and

                 <copy>$!NumberOfCopies</copy> produces </copy>

    
    

4. To execute the icons in the ${Actions} column refer Generic Features. 
 
NOTE: Once the sample print labels are defined, users can generate sample print labels on the enabled Class types using the Print Label icon in the Actions column. On click, the Print Label form is displayed and the user can select the desired printer and label type, and also specify the number of sample print labels to print.
 
IMPORTANT: Users must have at least view access on an object in Centric 8 to use the Print Label action. If a user attempts to export a label file and that file already exists in the specified directory, an error message is displayed. 

For changes to be reflected within the C8 application , from the main menu bar, select Actions > Update Configuration.
