Solution

Solution 1

The error occurs because the Control Center user who runs Automation or Designer PowerForms doesn't have sufficient user rights.

To avoid the issue, modify Access Roles permissions:

  1. Open your Control Center and click the Users tab.

  2. Click Access Roles at the top of the page, then click the user you want to modify user rights.

  3. In the Permissions for this Role window, go to the Documents tab.

  4. In Custom Document Permissions, select the folder, where you want to create label variants.

  5. Click Customize and enable the Show unpublished files option.

Now, you can create label variants in Documents in Control Center.

Solution 2

To print the latest approved label while creating new label variants at the same time, create two folders in Control Center's Documents. Store your production labels (approved and drafts) in Folder A. Create label variants in Folder B.

  • Modify Access Roles permissions for Folder A:

    1. Open your Control Center and click the Users tab.

    2. Click Access Roles at the top of the page, then click the user you want to modify user rights.

    3. In the Permissions for this Role window, go to the Documents tab.

    4. In Custom Document Permissions , select Folder A, where you want to print labels from.

    5. Click Customize and disable the Update files and folders option.

  • Modify also Access Roles permissions for Folder B:

    1. In Custom Document Permissions , select Folder B, where you want to store label variants.

    2. Click Customize and enable the Update files and folders and Show unpublished files options.

Automation or Designer PowerForms now prints approved labels and, at the same time, creates label variants.

Solution 3

The error occurs when you try to create a label variant with your label that includes the Report object.

Currently, our software doesn't support creating label variants with report labels. The functionality will be added in future releases.
