Setting Up Labels
To set up labels for data collection, use the Data Collection Label Setup (BCT_LABEL_FS_GBL) component. You must first select a label type to access the Data Collection Label Setup page. For example, you might select Container ID Label as the label type to identify containers at storage locations.
This section discusses how to set up data collection labels.

Description |
|---|---|
Format ID |
Enter an ID for a unique label design. A label type can have many format IDs. However, a format ID is not required. If the label printing application does not require a format ID, use this page to define the prefix and suffix for the file name of the label extract file. The format ID can be anything that you choose. If the label printing application does not require a format ID in the extract file, then the format ID is for your reference only. If the label printing application does require a format ID in the extract file, you would enter the format ID that the application uses and select the Include Format check box. The file name has an xxxyyyyyzzzz format, where xxx is the file prefix, yyyyy is the last five characters of the process instance ID, and zzzz is the file suffix. For example, if the file prefix is GEN and the suffix is .LBL, then the flat file generated by process instance 12345 would be named GEN12345.LBL. |
Default |
Select to set a format ID as the default that appears on the Label Generation page. If you do not select a default format ID, the first format ID listed becomes the default. |
File Prefix |
Enter the prefix for the file name of flat files generated for printing labels. This is an optional field |
File Suffix |
Enter the suffix for the file name of any flat files generated for printing labels. If you want a period as part of the suffix, you must include it in the field. This is an optional field. |
Include Format |
If this check box is selected, the format ID is inserted as the first field on every row in the label extract file. |
