Change Label Format

Multi store retailers can now change the label definition based on the store performing the print. This means you can add extra information for labels in some stores. The Product points to the label format being used. This has not changed. On each store, an additional control record can be added, so that all "label format 1" requests are converted to "label format 2" at print time.

This means that all user level "Print" type documentation remains the same, simply that the output label varies.

Common reasons for doing this are:

• Different printers/label sizes are in use in different stores, so a printer specific definition is required
• Varying legal requirements, especially over country/state lines
• Different in store process requirements. You may need to print 2 copies of every label in some stores but not others

Implementation

As this is believed to be an infrequently used option and one that is configured once and left, there is no UserInterface to manage it at this time. Contact your support agent for assistance. Fieldpine will likely add a UserInterface in time.

Step 1. Create the additonal label format. The "mformat" remains the same, but a new "rformat" (sub format key) is defined

Step 2. Edit the location table, and add a JSON packet into the field locations.labelcontrol

{
  "label13": {
    "queue":  "Store105LabelPrinter",
    "rformat": 6
  },
  "label10": {
    "queue":  "Store105LabelPrinter",
    "rformat": 2
  },
}

label10 controls product labels. label13 controls QR labels. If nothing is specified, the defaults are used. Fields rformat and queue are both optional.
