Template Configuration

Under Object Schema Configuration, there is a tab for Label Templates:

When there are templates available, a list of them will be presented:

Each template can be edited, cloned or deleted:

By default there are no templates available, so you need to create one:

Creating a new template

Some fields on this screen may require some additional explanation.

  • Template
  • Responsive height
  • Border

1. Template

In this editor you can create a template of your choice. It supports placeholders and images, and comes with lots of styling options:

When you create a new template, it is pre filled with a suggestion for a default template.

Explanation of some of the buttons

Source


Source gives you the possibility to edit the html source for the template.

Placeholder dropdown

There is a placeholder dropdown available containing all the attributes for the Object Schema:

Some of the attributes may be specific for an Object Type. Using the same template for other object types will render a text "No Value" in the printed labels.

For example: An attribute IMEI belongs to a Smart Phone object. If you insert IMEI as a placeholder in the label template, then for any smart phone object, the template will pick up the value for IMEI and print the label.

However, if you use that same template to print the label of a Department object which does not have a IMEI attribute at all, then the printed label will display a text "No Value" for the IMEI attribute.

Additionally, if you have a language setting enabled for Insight e.g Spanish, the the "No Value" text will be displayed as "Sin valor"

At the top of the placeholder dropdown, there is an placeholder called ATTRIBUTE LIST. This placeholder will add an additional configuration when printing an template, where you can select the attribute you want.

Placeholders will be replaced with the attribute values for each object. Each placeholder is surrounded by [[ ]] and marked in yellow:

2. Responsive height field

When configuring your template, you have an option to give your template responsive height:

If your content won't fit your defined height, you can set this option to allow it to expand. This might be useful in combination with the ATTRIBUTE LIST placeholder, if you have a lot of placeholder to print.

3. Border

When configuring your template, you have an option to select/not select border for it. You can do so with the help of the checkbox provided.

The screenshots below show how the printed labels look like with and without borders respectively.

     

Adding images

You can add images to the template very easy by clicking the Add button:

Images can also be resized by double clicking the image to open the image dialog, or by dragging from the bottom right corner :

 

Image placeholders

There are two available image placeholders:

  • QR Code
  • Object Avatar

Update, upload and delete images

There is support for uploading images. 

By ticking the option "Global", the image will be shared among all Object Schemas. This might be useful if you have an image that multiple Object Schemas might use, such as an company logo.

Each image that you upload can be updated at any time, but it can't be deleted if it's used in a template.


Moving content around in the template

There are 3 ways to move content around in the template

  • Copy & Paste
  • Editing the html source
  • Images and placeholder can be dragged from the top left corner

 


  • No labels
