Assigning Data Fields

You assign fields from your imported data to objects on the label by selecting the fields you want to use from a list of all the fields in your data source.

You can position the data before or after other text already on the label. You can also assign more than one field to the same object and add other text, spaces, and punctuation. For example, select the first name field to place it on a text object, enter a space, and then select the last name field which places it after the space. Any text you place on the label in addition to the fields will appear on every label.

To view the data you have selected, select View data. You can't change any of the data in the data table. Changes to the data need to be made in the source file and the data imported again.
