Sequential Labels

The View Labels page contains a Sequential option in the Barcode Type options. Sequential labels are based upon an incremental increase for a specific quantity of labels based upon an initial value. The data behind the sequential label is not associated with any IntelliTrack data; it is strictly based upon the initial value and its incremental increase. IntelliTrack contains a sequential label type.

Loading the Labels

To load the sequential labels, please refer to the instructions that follow.

1. Select Reports > View/Print Bar Code Labels from the navigation pane.

2. The View Labels page appears.

3. Click the drop-down arrow in the Barcode Type field and select the Sequential label type from the options that appear.

4. The following sequential label sizes are available: 2 x 1, 3 x 1, 3 x 2, 3 x 5, and 4 x 2. Select a label size.
5. Specific criteria filters for the sequential label appear.

6. Initial Value: the initial starting value of the sequence number. If left blank, the system automatically sets it to 1.
7. Increment: enter the incremental increase of each label number after the starting number. If left blank, the system automatically sets it to 1.
8. Quantity of Each: enter the amount for each individual sequential label that you want to load onscreen. If left blank, the system automatically sets it to 1.
9. To: enter the total amount of different sequential labels that you want to load. If left blank, the system automatically sets it to 1.
10. Prefix: enter a label prefix in this field. You may enter any alphanumeric character in this field. For instance, if you enter an A in this field, all bar code labels will have an “A” in front of the bar code. If left blank, the label will not have a prefix.
11. Postfix: enter a label postfix in this field. You may enter any alphanumeric character in this field. For instance, if you enter a B in this field, all bar code labels will have a “B” after the bar code. If left blank, the label will not have a postfix.
12. Click the Submit icon .
13. The label report loads onscreen.

14. In this example, the quantity for each label is 5 and the total quantity of sequential labels produced is 2. Hence, 2 different labels are loaded, each with a quantity of 5.
15. The toolbar provides options for printing, exporting, or viewing a specific label page.
16. Printing a Label:see "Printing a Label"
17. Exporting a Label to Another File:see "Report and Label Options"
18. To clear the criteria specific to this label, click the Reset icon. To run the same label report with different filter criteria, reselect the filters and then select the Submit icon; the label report will load onscreen.
19. When you are finished working with the label report, select another label report from the Barcode Type filter and the Barcode Name filter; the currently selected label report information and label report criteria will clear and the new label report criteria will load onscreen.
