Label View

Use the Label view to create and print labels. Since many labels, like mailing labels, often use the same fields, Results lets you pick a set of default display fields. The default display fields are selected by your system manager based on you company’s business practices. For example, if you want to create mailing labels, you might tell Results to select the default display fields from the Customer table.

Follow these steps to create labels:

  1. Choose Query New Label. The Add/Remove Tables dialog box appears.
  2. Select a table from the Available Tables selection list, then choose Add:
  3. The table appears in the Selected Tables selection list. As you add tables, the Available Tables selection list is updated to display only tables that have a relationship with the table you selected.

  4. Repeat Step 2 to select additional tables.
  5. Choose OK when you are done selecting tables.
  6. A dialog box prompts you to choose whether you want Results to select the display
    field for you.

  7. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Yes to select the default display fields.
    • Results selects the fields based on the criteria set by your site manager. Thus, some tables might contain numerous display fields and other tables might contain no default display fields. If you want to change the default display fields for a particular table, see your site manager.

    • Choose No to display the Add/Remove Fields dialog box and select the display fields yourself.
    • The Add/Remove Fields dialog box appears. The dialog box lists the display fields in the order in which they will appear in the labels:

  8. To accept the list of display fields as is, choose OK. To modify the list, insert fields, delete fields, or change the order of the fields as follows:
    • To insert a display field, place the cursor where you want to insert the field, then choose Insert Field. The Insert Field dialog box appears. Select a field, then choose OK.
    • To delete a display field, select the field then press either CTRL-X or DELETE.
    • To delete all the display fields, choose Clear All.
    • To change the order of a display field, select the field then press CTRL-X. Position the cursor where you want to insert the field, then press CTRL-V.
    • To restore the list of display fields to its original condition, choose Restore Layout.
    • Results displays the label information:



NOTE: The Field Aggregates menu selection is not available with the Label view. The Field Properties menu selection is only available for calculated fields.

The following figure uses Print Preview to show how the labels look when they’re printed:
