Touring the Data Grid

The data grid is available for most label editors where you can import data or map data to the objects on the label. For complete information about using the data grid, see About the Data Grid.

The data grid has the following features:

Import	Import data from a spreadsheet or database file. See Importing Data.
Export	Export data as a .csv file. See Exporting Data.
Recall	Populate the data grid with data from the previous label. See Recalling Data.
Change data	Change the data layout. See Changing the Data Layout.
Refresh data	Refresh the data in the data grid from the linked source file.
Automatically map columns	When you import data into a multi-cell label and the columns match the number of cells on the label, the imported data is automatically mapped to the text box in each cell. You can map the data manually by deselecting the check box and then dragging columns to text or barcode objects on the label.
Clear all mappings	Clears all data mappings to objects in the label preview.
Add	Add a column or row to the data grid.
Delete	Delete a column or row from the data grid.
