Chapter 2: Set up your job 29
Remote Views
To set up your jobs and design your labels on a UNIX server, you must use Label
Studio Remote Views.
What is Remote Views Remote Views is a product for networks. You use a Windows client to design
your labels and set up your jobs, which are stored on a UNIX server. Remote
Views works similarly to the way Label Studio works on a Windows PC.
However, there are some differences:
 When you launch Remote Views, you must give a user name and password to
log in to the UNIX server.
 When you open, save, or browse files, you see the file system on your UNIX
server.
 When you launch job processing, it occurs on the server. Work files, reports,
and output files are created on the server. You monitor job progress from your
Windows client.
Set the number to
transfer for
previewing
When you choose Tools > Design Labels or Tools > Preview Labels, a portion of
the first input file and its format and definition files are temporarily copied to the
(local) Windows client machine. When you preview your labels, these are the
records that you view.
 To control the number of records available for previewing in Remote Views:
1. In Label Studio, double-click the Input File block.
2. In the Set Input File window, type the number of records you want to be able
to preview in the Number of records to transfer box.
Record Options
settings
Your settings in the Record Options section apply to the records you’re
transferring for previewing. For example, if you type 1000 in the Number of
records to transfer box, and you enter a Starting record number of 1 and an
Ending record number of 10, only 10 records will be transferred and available for
previewing in Remote Views.
Likewise, any input filter or Nth select value that you enter will be applied to the
records transferred.

The more records you transfer, the longer it may take to open Label
Toolbox or Label Preview.
