Quick tour of Label Studio
This quick tour introduces you to the basics of running a job in Label Studio. A
ready-made job is already provided in your Samples folder, so you can easily
move around Label Studio and learn about its features.
Open the sample job Choose File > Open and double-click Quikjob.lsj. The job-editor window
displays the job-file blocks to the left and the parameters to the right.
Define your
parameters
Double-click each job-file block to edit the parameters
of your job. For example, double-click Report Defaults
to define how and where to print your reports.
If you make changes in a job-file block, the icon shows
the letter C. This icon signifies the parameters have
changed but are not yet saved.
Create a design file A design file defines the layout and page size of your label. There are many
predefined design files available, or you can create your own. In this example, we
will modify a sample design file:
1. Choose Tools > Design Labels, or click the Design Labels button on
the toolbar to open Label Toolbox.
2. Select the QuikDesign.ltd design file, and click Edit. Drag and drop fields or
objects onto your layout from the Objects window, as necessary.
3. Choose File > Save As, and rename your design file (if you want to keep
your changes). Choose File > Exit.
4. Click Select. This opens the Labels block of your job and assigns your design
file to your job.
Preview labels Choose Tools > Preview Labels, or click the Preview Labels button to see
what your labels will look like.
Verify your job Choose File > Verify Job, or click the Verify Job button. If you have set up
your job incorrectly, the Browse Job Problems window appears. Double-
click an error or warning to fix it.
Print labels and
reports
1. Choose File > Run Job, or click the Run Job button. Save your file, if
prompted.
2. Verify that the Print Labels and Create Reports options are selected in the
Execution Options window, and click OK. Click OK once more to run your
job.
