Labels Module Main Menu

Horizontal menu options appear at the top of each window throughout the Labels module, as shown in Figure 6–1.

Figure 6–1: Labels Module Main Menu

In some cases you see a subset of these options. For example, you only see the options you can pick when you do not have any files defined for a label in the Label Info window.

The following list provides brief descriptions of all the menu options and suboptions available in the Labels module. The Get, Put, Run, Where, Order, and Clear options work the same way as they do in the Data Exports and Reports modules. For complete descriptions, see "Option Descriptions." If you do not have all of the options listed in this chapter, see your database administrator.

Get

Retrieves an existing label definition into the Labels window. You can get a label definition you have defined, or if you have permission, you can get a copy of a label definition from someone else’s directory.

Put

Saves the current label definition.

Run

Prints labels as they are currently laid out in the Label Layout window. You can preview the labels on the display, print them to a file, or route them directly to a printer.

Define

Defines the files and fields for label information. You can select fields from a list, or you can have Results select the fields automatically.

Settings

Controls general output settings for your labels.

Where

Builds a WHERE clause to select a subset of labels. You need to define an active file (using the Define option) before you can define the WHERE clause criteria.

Order

Orders labels by up to five fields. For example, you can define the labels to print numerically by customer number.

Clear

Resets the settings back to their default values. Or, if there are no files or fields defined in the window, Results displays a list of defined labels; you can delete as many as you want.

Info

Displays more information about the active label definition, such as the names of the current active files, how they are related, and any WHERE clause and order criteria defined. It might also display the name of the label definition (if it has been saved), and how long it took to run the labels the last time (if it has been run).

Module

Switches to a different module without going back to the Main Menu. You can also transport file, field, and WHERE clause criteria information to other modules.

User

This option is hidden by default. It enables you to transfer to a customized option. You only see this option if a Progress developer has included an option program to perform an action. If you see it on your screen, see documentation provided by the application developer.

Exit

Exits from the Labels module to the Main Menu.
