How To: Create Customer Labels

Table Of Contents

Customer label templates allow you to define how customer address labels are printed in Khaos Control. Once a default customer label template exists, it is used automatically whenever customer labels are printed.

Khaos Control is supplied with a default customer label template called CUSTOMER LABELS.

Note
If you want users to choose from multiple customer label templates when printing labels, you must first rename the existing CUSTOMER LABELS template. If this template remains in place, Khaos Control will use it automatically without prompting the user to select a layout.

Create a New Customer Label Template

Open the Label Setup screen (show me how).
On the [ Label Setup | List ] tab, select Go to display the existing label templates.
Note
If users need to choose from multiple customer label templates, rename the existing CUSTOMER LABELS template before creating additional templates.
Press Ctrl + N or click New.
On the [ Label Setup | Detail ] tab, enter a description in the Description field.
This description is shown to users when selecting a label template.
Set the Label Type option to Customer.
Configure the label template as required.

Label Template Settings

Required Settings

The following settings must be configured before the template can be used:

Note
All margin and increment measurements are entered in millimetres (mm).

Optional Settings

You can further customise the label template using the following options:

Main Text Font

Configure the Main Text Font if you want to change the default font settings.

By default, customer labels use Arial 10pt.

Customer Details

Use the Customer Details tab to choose which customer information appears on the label.

Invoice Items

Use the Invoice Items tab to include invoice item information on the label.

Images

Use the Image tab to add a company logo or other image to the label.

Headers and Footers

Use the Header and Footer options to add additional information to the label.

Tip
You can add multiple fields and options to both the header and footer areas.

Save the Template

Once you have finished configuring the label layout:

Press Ctrl + S or click Save.
The customer label template will be available for use when printing customer labels.

Additional Information

Customer label templates can be customised to match a wide range of label stationery layouts and business requirements. If you create multiple customer label templates, users can choose the most appropriate layout at print time, provided the default CUSTOMER LABELS template has been renamed.
