Configuring Labels

ShotFlow includes a powerful label creation engine to design the various labels needed for attaching to samples, gear, or other items in the studio workflow. A label is built on an individual table, but can also include fields from related tables in the label layout.

To manage labels:

1. Select the app you want to configure from the Applications panel. 

2. In the left pane under the Tables header, locate the Table you which to configure the label for and choose the Edit (pencil) icon. 

2. You will see a list of existing labels for this table (if any). To create a new label, choose [+Create]. If no labels exist for the table, you will see the label layout canvas. 

5. The layout canvas consists of a column of fields for the current table on the left side of the primary pane, along with headers for any related tables at the bottom of the column. The list of fields for each table can be expanded or collapsed by selecting the relevant table header. On the right side of the primary pane, there is a gray rectangle representing the empty label layout. The shape of the layout can be modified by selecting and dragging the right border, bottom border or the bottom right corner (note that while resizing, the pixel resolution of the current label layout is displayed in the bottom right corner of the primary pane). To add fields to the label, select a field in the left column, drag and drop to the label layout. Fields can be relocated on the label layout by selecting, dragging and dropping to the new position. Fields can be resized for printing by selecting the corner and dragging to the desired size. Fields can be removed from the label design by selecting and dragging them off the gray rectangle. 

6. Click [Save] and give the Label a Name (required) and Description, if desired.

7. If the type of Label you want is already listed, select [Edit] for the type of Label you want to edit, and go to step 5.

8. When all changes have been made, select [Back] to return to the table view.
