The Label Manager in Retailer is specifically designed for jewellery labels and allows users to control the printing of these labels.

InfoFor printing barcode stickers as opposed to jewellery labels, click HERE. You may first need to enable the barcode manager by following the steps HERE.

Enabling the Label Manager

To begin using the Label Manager, it needs to be enabled first. To do this:
  1. From the main screen of Retailer, click on Setup → Point of Sale.
  2. Then click on the Terminals tab.
  3. In Label Printing Options, select Label Manager.
  4. Click Save and Close.

Label Manager Options

There are a couple of ways to access the Label Manager:

  • Click on Stock → Label Manager from the main screen of Retailer.
  • Click on Stock Maintenance → Label Manager on the top menu bar.
The grid at the top shows the labels that are queued up to print. The Barcode Printing Options allow you to select the order the labels are shown and printed in.

Custom Filter

The grid can be filtered to only show certain item labels:
  1. Custom Search: Click the small arrow in any column header and select (Custom...).
  2. Select the criteria in the box on the left, then enter the word or number in the box on the right. E.g. Under Description, choose Contains and enter "toy" to filter items with "toy" in the name.
  3. You can use AND/OR logic between the criteria lines to filter specific items by combinations of those criteria like name, price, or keyword.
  4. Note: Custom filters only change what you see on the screen; they do not restrict what the Print or Reset button do. So they will still print or reset all labels in this queue.
