Create a new label in Gimmal Physical using an existing design file

1. Go to Admin->Label Profiles->Add Profile and fill in the following data fields:

   1. Data Tab - Select the item type for the new label. (e.g., files or boxes).

   2. Design File - Select the design file. This file contains the dimensions, layout, and other design properties of the label.

   3. Number of the labels per page - Enter the number of labels to be printed per page, corresponding to the label stock being used.

   4. Profile Name - Name the label profile to find and use later.

2. Map the desired metadata fields to the Label Design fields - highlight the matching field in each column then click the <--- Link ---> button. In most cases, you will only link each metadata/label field once.

   1. Gimmal Fields - Metadata fields from Gimmal Physical. Values are specific for each item.

   2. Label Design Fields - Layout/Position fields included on the design file.

3. Click Close to save the label profile configuration.

To test the label:

From the Home page, select the tab you created the label for, and click Search. Select a few records from the search results and click Print Labels in the Action toolbar.
