Using Reusable Objects

You can use a reusable object to include components for a form for data entry and components for a label for printed output that you want to incorporate into label templates. After a reusable object is added to a label template, form, layer object, or other reusable object, the components that it contributed to the label template, form, layer object, or other reusable object can be modified as needed.

Reusable objects that have been saved in the Reusable Objects folder are displayed in the Insert tab in Label Design  and are available for use in label templates and forms.

Note: If a reusable object is saved in a version-controlled subfolder of the Reusable Objects folder, that version-controlled reusable object is displayed in the Insert tab in Label Design  only after the reusable object is published. For more information, see Working in a Version-Controlled Environment.

Note: If a reusable object is changed, label templates, forms, layer objects, or other reusable objects to which it was added before the change was made are not affected.

For information about applying a reusable object to a label template or other object, see Add a Reusable Object to a Label Template or a Form. For information about creating reusable objects, see Create a Reusable Object.
