D-4 Customizing the DecisioNet System
Label Data Manager
The Label Data Manager tracks changes to the selected EPL Table
record fields (Label Data Maintenance Configuration screen - PLU
Number, Price Level, Serial Number, Measure, Unit of Measure,
and/or Package Size) and PLU file description field changes. It uses
this information to create an ASCII, comma-separated, print files that
can be used to print SmarTalker labels.
How the print process is implemented depends on the print
application and the type of printer used at your store. This section
describes the available configuration options and provides a sample
ASCII, comma-separated print file.
Setting the Granularity and Records Number Options
These options are used when tracking changes to the PLU File
description field. The EPL Information Messaging System Package
must be installed to have this extended LDM functionality. To change
these options from the system default settings, edit the Label Data
Manager section of the basesw.cfg file. This file is in the
/appl/epl/data directory on a default DecisioNet UNIX system and in
the \epl\data directory on a default DecisioNet Windows NT system.
