Getting Label Definitions
This section describes how to use the Get option to retrieve a label that you saved. It also describes how to get a copy of a label definition from someone else’s directory (if you have permission). You use the same steps to get definitions in the Reports and Data Export modules.
- Select the Get option.
If there is any data in the information or layout windows, Results prompts you to clear the current windows. If you have not saved that information, it will be lost if you select Yes.
If the window is clear, a window appears that enables you to load existing labels. You can load and run any of the labels marked with an asterisk (*). The asterisk means that the label was created using the currently connected databases. (To see the name of the databases, press MODE. Press MODE again to see the program names.)
If you created your labels with an earlier version of Results, a question mark (?) marks the labels to show that Results did not save the names of the databases used to create the labels. (If you created them with the current database(s), retrieve them to save the database names with the label names.)
At this window, you can load a label program from another directory (if you have permission), load the label you defined, or press END to cancel the Get operation.
To successfully copy a label format from someone else’s directory, the label must have been created using the database you are using. (If it was created using more than one database, you must have the same databases connected in the same order.) You copy the format of the label, not the content. Therefore, if you don’t have permission to access all of the fields that the label definitions needs, that field information does not appear in the label.
- Select the label definition that you want to load.
The information and layout for that definition appear in the windows on the display. You can run or edit this label definition.
