You can select the multiple records using standard Windows shortcut with Ctrl key. Press and

hold the

Ctrl key, use the mouse to select records one after another, or you can check each

selected record in the beginning of the line. Put a check mark in the checkbox. Only the

records that have a check in the checkbox will be printed. Use

Space key to toggle the

selection/de-selection of marked records.

If you have set up your database connection to enter the quantity of labels you need to print for

each record, additional field will be inserted in front of the first field. It is marked with pound

(#). Use this field to define the quantity for each record you need to print.

Optimize for fast windows load: Enable this option to speed up the display of table data when

you enter the dialog box the next time. The check boxes for selection of record will not be

displayed, which speeds up working with larger databases. Record selection in this mode can

be performed using standard Windows shortcuts with

Shift and Ctrl keys.

If you want to easier navigate through larger databases there is an option for you to group the

records by some database field. You can nest fields one below the other and create a tree

structure for more complex field grouping. Just click and drag the field name to the spot above

the table.

Besides grouping, you can also benefit from filtering functionality. Filtering can be very useful

in situations where you are dealing with larger tables and would like to limit the view of the

table data. You can set a user-defined conditions to the table and only record that comply to

them are displayed.

To enable filter on some field, click the arrow button next to the field’s name. There are

multiple options you can select:

Filters can be combined on more than just one field.

If the field has a filter defined, the arrow next to field name in the caption will be displayed in

blue color. If the filter is not defined, the arrow is displayed in black color.

All Select this to disable filter on this field.

Custom Create a custom filter for this field. You can select standard qualifiers

as: equals, does not equal, is less than, is less than or equal to, is greater

than, is greater than or equal, like, not like, is blank, is not blank.

You can nest two conditions for the filter and thus build a more

complex condition for the field. They can be joined together using

AND (all conditions must be true in order to display the record) or OR

(only one condition must be true in order to display the record) logical

qualifiers.

A separate dialog box is used for defining the custom filter.

Blanks Only the records with blank values for this field are shown.

Non Blanks Only the records with non blank values for this field are shown.

<data values> Only the records that have the selected data value in this field will be

shown.
