Prompting

When designing labels with connected dynamic data sources, a value has to be assigned to them before printing. Prompted variables have their values manually assigned at print time. The user is asked for the value of every variable before each print job.

The values are entered manually. The order in which they are entered may be specified using the Prompt order dialog.

Prompting group asks the user for manual data input – this is done after the print dialog opens.

• Prompt at print time: enabled or disabled prompting form variable value.

  Note

  If a dynamic data source is included in the Initial value, prompting becomes disabled.

• Prompt text: contains text that prompts the user for value input. This text serves as instruction on what kind of values should be entered before printing.

• Value required: variable value status – mandatory or optional. If the prompt text is left empty if the value is set as mandatory, printing cannot start. An error message appears.
