Design your price labels

Open the label designerRose

1. Go to Administration → SETTINGS and scroll down to the LABELS section.
2. Under PRINT ON LABELS, press LABEL DESIGNER.
3. In LABEL SIZE, pick the label you want to design. The designer opens on your ROSE DEFAULT LABEL if you have one.

• The label is drawn to scale with a sample item (a wool sweater from J.CREW), so you can see how real text will fit.
• Next to the size you see either SAVED DESIGN or AUTOMATIC LAYOUT - NOT DESIGNED YET. A size that isn't designed yet opens on a starting design that matches the standard label.
• There is one design per label size: DYMO / ZEBRA 2 1/4 x 1 1/4, DYMO / ZEBRA 2 x 1.5, DYMO / ZEBRA 2 x 1, the 1 x 1 label (shared by Dymo 30332, Zebra 1 x 1 and the Avery Presta 94103 sheet), the Avery 1 x 2-5/8 sheet, the Dymo jewelry label and the Zebra jewelry label.

Choose which details printRose

The designer decides where each detail goes. Which details print at all is still set by the ticks in PRINT ON LABELS on the Settings screen.

1. In Administration → SETTINGS → LABELS, tick the details you want under CORE DETAILS, EXTRA DETAILS and MARKDOWNS (for example ITEM NAME, BRAND, SIZE, ACCOUNT #, EXPIRY DATE, STORE NAME, PRICE-DROP DATES).
2. Press SAVE LABEL DETAILS.
3. To go back to the usual set of ticks, press RESET TO STANDARD and then SAVE LABEL DETAILS.

• The price and the barcode always print.
• A detail that isn't ticked shows greyed out in the designer and does not print, wherever you place it.

Move, resize and style each pieceRose

1. Drag any piece of the label to move it.
2. Click a piece to select it, then drag the small square in its bottom-right corner to make it wider or taller.
3. With a piece selected, set its FONT SIZE, tick BOLD and choose ALIGN (LEFT, CENTER or RIGHT) in the panel on the right.
4. To place a piece exactly, type its LEFT (pt), TOP (pt), WIDTH (pt) and HEIGHT (pt). 72 pt = 1 inch.
5. To leave a piece off this label size only, untick PRINT ON THIS LABEL SIZE.

• You can also select a piece by clicking its name in the row of buttons under the label.
• The pieces are STORE NAME, ITEM NAME, BRAND, SIZE, COLOR, CATEGORY, PRICE, PRICE-DROP DATES, ACCOUNT #, CONSIGNOR LAST NAME, SHELF DATE, EXPIRY DATE and BARCODE.
• For the barcode, FONT SIZE becomes SKU TEXT SIZE (the SKU printed under the bars) and HEIGHT becomes BAR HEIGHT (pt). BOLD and ALIGN are not offered for the barcode.
• The price and the barcode can't be switched off with PRINT ON THIS LABEL SIZE.
• On jewelry labels the striped middle is the strap: nothing prints there.
• If a piece shows NOT PRINTED, it is unticked in PRINT ON LABELS. Tick it there to print it.

Preview and save the designRose

1. Press PREVIEW to see the real label PDF, exactly as it will print. The preview is not saved yet.
2. Press SAVE DESIGN. You see "LABEL DESIGN SAVED - ROSE AND MYPORTAL PRINT THIS LABEL SIZE WITH IT".
3. Pick another size in LABEL SIZE to design it too, or press CLOSE.

• The LABEL PREVIEW on the Settings screen updates right away with your saved design.
• Save before you switch sizes: if you change LABEL SIZE with unsaved changes, those changes are thrown away (Rose warns you).

Change, restart or remove a designRose

• To change a design, open the designer, pick the size, make your changes and press SAVE DESIGN again. The new design replaces the old one.
• START OVER puts the starting design back on screen so you can begin again. Nothing changes until you press SAVE DESIGN.
• USE AUTOMATIC LAYOUT deletes the saved design for that size straight away (there's no confirmation), and that size prints the standard label again. You see "AUTOMATIC LAYOUT IN USE FOR THIS LABEL SIZE".
• A deleted design can't be brought back. You'd need to design it again.

Set your default labelsRose

Your default labels are set in the same LABELS section, just above PRINT ON LABELS.

• ROSE DEFAULT LABEL: the label a new item starts on in Inventory and Take-ins, and the label printing starts on. Leave it empty to use each item's own label.
• MYPORTAL DEFAULT LABEL: the label a consignor's or vendor's new item starts on in myPortal. SAME AS THE ROSE DEFAULT LABEL uses the Rose one.
• Each one is saved as soon as you change it. People can still pick another label each time they print.

Print labels with your designRose

You don't need to turn your design on anywhere. Every label of a designed size uses it.

• That includes labels printed from Inventory, Take-ins and Contracts, labels sent to PrintNode / KloudPrint printers, and Avery sheets.
• Sizes you haven't designed keep printing the standard layout.

Labels in myPortalmyPortal

• Labels your vendors print from myPortal use the same PRINT ON LABELS ticks and your saved design for that size.
• Consignors and vendors can't see or change the designer. Only the store can.
