Labels Formats

The Labels screen allows for the printing of thermal labels directly from the CORESense back office. This section explains all steps required to set up label printing for your company and design new labels.

Follow the steps below to format a new label.

Most commonly, a barcode is displayed on this label and scanned by a clerk when placing an order using the CORESense Point-of-Sale (POS) terminal. Barcode labels can display information such as the product name, configuration, pricing, barcode, associated SKU information and a variety of custom attributes. Location - A label that is placed on a warehouse location to display information about the location. Location labels can display information such as the breadcrumb location (i.e. "Aisle A / Shelf 3 / Bin 12") and information about each SKU being stored within the location.
4	Click on Create Label Format. Additional formats can be added at this time and when done, click on Close and the new format is added to the Label Formats list.
5	To Edit a label click the icon under the Actions box. To Delete a label click the icon.

Label Field Mapping

Label field mapping is driven by the field number assignments generated when designing a label with the Zebra software. Each field (or element) of a label has a label which is mapped to a number (see sample below).

Field	Number
Store Name	11
Size	12
Price	13
SKU	14
Barcode	15

If you want to change the location of a field (e.g. Price needs to be above Size) then the numbers need to be mapped accordingly.

Step	Action
1	To Add or Edit a Label Field Mapping click the icon under the Actions box of the label to be edited.
2	The Update Label Format screen appears. Click the Edit Label Field Mapping button.
3	The existing mappings display. Click on the (+) or (-) buttons to change the numeric position of the fields.

5	To preview the edited label, click on the Send Field Mapping Label Sample to Label Printer button.
