Create and edit a template

Creating or editing a template is simple: you choose the label size and tick which fields appear on it. The rest — the order of the fields, the QR and the logo — is already set.

Who can create and edit

Owner and Manager create, edit and set the default template. Staff do not change templates — they use the labels day to day, in the Android app.

Step by step

1. Open Label templates

   In the web panel, open the templates area and click to create a new one — or to edit an existing template.

2. Name the template

   Choose a name that helps you recognize the template later (for example “Small tub” or “Box”). The name is required.

3. Set the size

   Enter the label width and height in millimeters, to match the roll loaded in the printer. Adjust the margins and the line spacing too, if needed.

4. Tick the fields that appear

   Tick, with a checkbox, which information goes on the label: product name, prepared, validity, batch, staff member, quantity, storage and others. Untick what you don’t need.

5. Check the preview

   The preview shows how the label will come out. Pick a sample product to see it with real data.

6. Save

   Click Save. The template is ready to print right away.

What you control

• Size — width and height in millimeters, plus the margins and the spacing between lines.

• Which fields appear — you turn each field on and off:

  • Product name — shown prominently at the top.
  • Prepared — when the item was prepared.
  • Validity — the expiry date, prominently.
  • Batch — the label batch.
  • Staff member — who prepared it.
  • Quantity, Storage, SKU, Ingredients, Allergens, Description, Establishment and Printed at — include what fits your operation.

QR and logo always appear

The QR and the logo are on every label and are not in the field list. The QR is what lets you mark a label as used by scanning it in the app, so it is not optional. There is no custom image option in the template.

Default template, duplicate and delete

• Set as default — the template marked as default is used automatically when you create a new label. Only one template is the default at a time.
• Duplicate — makes a copy of the template so you can adjust it without touching the original. Handy for making a variant in another size.
• Delete — removes a template you no longer use.
