Add Data Fields or Groups of Fields

Print Designer Overview | Print Designer FAQs

Data fields are populated from information in your company data file. This could be store information, customer information, item information, sales information, and so forth.

A data field represents one piece of information from the record, such as the city for the billing address.

A group of fields represents a set of data fields that are added to a template as a group. For example, a "Ship To" group would have available all individual fields pertinent to the shipping address. In most cases, the pre-defined groups should meet your needs. However, should you need a more specific design, you can add or remove individual data fields from a group.

In most cases, you will not be able to place the same data field or group of fields in multiple locations on a template.

To add a data field or group of fields to a template:

1. If applicable, select the section of the template to which you wish to add the date field or group.

If necessary, create more room in the section by dragging its lower separator bar downwards.

2. From the tool bar, select A dd D ata Field or Group of Fields from the tool bar.

The Add Data Field window is displayed.

3. Select the individual data field or group you wish to add.

A short description of each field or group is displayed in the window as they are selected.
