Mapping Data to a Label Layout

Before you begin

You are assigned to a user group that at least has the permission Layout management.
You have imported or created master data.
Optional: You have defined variable data.
You have imported a label layout.

To fill a label with information, you first map the information to the layout fields that are defined in the label layout.

In the side bar, select Documents, and click Layout Mapping.

The view Layout Mapping opens.
From the drop-down menu Choose Table, select the database table from which you want to map data.

You can select a different data source for each layout field.
Drag and drop the data you want to map into an layout field.

In the screenshot, the Product Code is mapped to the layout field Product-Code. Usually, manage.ID automatically detects all layout fields within a label layout.
Optional: If layout fields are missing in the overview, you must manually create them:
1. Drag and drop data into the field Manual Created to create a new layout field.
2. Click the pen icon and name the layout field like the layout field in your label layout.
For information about the names of layout fields, see the documentation that is delivered with the label layout.
Repeat until all layout fields are either linked with data from a data source or from variable data.
Optional: Click the flag icon to enable modifiable fields; then click the flag icon next to an empty layout field to mark it as modifiable.
If you have a coding scenario or production which uses a label layout with one or more modifiable fields, manage.ID asks you to enter content for these fields before each execution. For more information see Coding Scenarios or Preparing Production on a Production Line
