Configuring Data Sources

Data: Help Text

The Help Text field allows you to enter a customized prompt that is displayed in the Status Bar (at the

bottom of an On-Demand Print Form) to assist the user in data entry.

Related Information

For more information on connecting database data to your labels, refer to Database Key in this guide.

Database-File Data Source

The Database-File data source is used to connect a field on a label with a field in the database, similar to

the Database-Data data source. The difference is that the Database-File assumes that the matching

database field contains the name of a file that contains the data for the field.

Example

A manufacturer of cleaning solvents might have several different In-case-of-contact warnings. Rather than

repeating this information for every product in the database, the user could create a set of Warning Label text

files and tell Loftware Label Manager to use the database to look up and retrieve an appropriate file in response

to a number or code entered by the user.

The Database-File setup dialog defines the connection to the database. This connection is the same as

described previously for Database-Data.

Option Description

Data

Sourc

Select the name of the database to which you want to connect. This is the data source name (DSN)

you assigned to the database in the ODBC Control Panel.See Database Key for notes on Data Source

Name.

Table Select the name of the specific table in the database to which you want to connect.

Field

Select the name of the field in the database that contains the name of the file from which you want to

retrieve data.

Note: Loftware Label Manager checks the Data subdirectory for the file if you do not specify a

full pathname. You can change the default directory using the Options | File Locations | Text

Data Files menu.

Note: Fixed data does not show up on the On-Demand Print Form but does show up on the printed label.

Database-Serial Number

The Database-Serial data source is used to connect a field on a label with a field in the database, similar

to Database-Data. The difference is Database-Serial assumes that the matching database field contains

the name of a Serial Number file to use for this field.

Note: You may not specify a full path name or extension for your serial file names in the database. The

subsystem checks the Serial subdirectory for the file. If you wish to use a different directory, you may change it

using Options | File Locations. Make sure that all of your serial number files exist in this directory before trying

to use your system!
