Select Variable Quantity from the Database Field
Select a field in the database that contains the label quantity information. The database record
will be printed on as many consecutive labels as the selected field contains.
Note • Make sure to select the field that has been formatted with the numeric data.
Add Fields to the Label
Figure 62 • Database wizard – Adding fields to the label
On this page, you specify if you want the wizard to generate text objects on the label that are
already linked to corresponding fields in the table. Text objects are created in the upper left
corner of a label, but you can move them to another position.
Link Label to Text Databases
Overview
Text databases are text files containing data values that can be used for variable objects on the
label. The text database is not a real database. It contains the data values but lacks the
information of the data structure, name of the fields, and maximum lengths of the fields. You
have to provide the missing information before ZebraDesigner Pro can use the data from such
a text database.
