Defining Label Lines of a Report

In this tab, you specify and define the constant part - the label lines - which make up the layout of your current Report. A dynamic print preview window displays a simulation of the label lines output.

Before you begin
Defining/modifying the label lines which make up the layout of your Report, must be done in the -L lines tab of a Report editor open.
About this task
You create your layout label lines from the-L lines Definition list that you find in the left area of the tab:
  1. If there is no -L lines yet in the -L lines definition list, click directly on the Add... button to create a first line. Otherwise, set your cursor on a line already defined, and click the button then. As a result, a new line is inserted just below the former one.
  2. A default zero value is assigned to the label line to identify the label on the line and an icon with a red cross warns you that the label must be defined. To define the characteristics of the label, complete the fields in the Label Definition section, which opens in the bottom of the tab.
  3. Click on the line then to refresh and display the label identifier and the line label numbers.
  4. To delete a label lines in your layout, use the Remove... button.
  5. To organize the lines differently in the layout, use the move up or down buttons.
  6. To display a view of your layout before you start generating, click the Preview button in the Label Definition section:
    A preview window gives you a dynamic view of the lines you have been created in the -L lines tab. You can leave the window open and see instantaneous updates.
