LabeLase® Designer allows you to automatically insert information into a text field through the use of special flags. To aid you in selecting these flags for inclusion in your text field, the Message Flag Help form is provided.
The left pane of the form shows a list of the flags that are available to you for insertion into your text field. When you select a flag, the right pane shows the selected flag along with a preview sample of the text that will be generated by the flag. Some flags have optional parameters that you can specify as well. Any automatic text flag may be followed by a "sub-string specification" which can be used to extract a portion of the automatically generated text. Following the flag with this sequence specifies the sub-string: (#, #) The first number following the open parenthesis character specifies the character position of the first character to be included. The first character in the string is character number 1. The second number following the comma specifies the number of characters to include in the text. For example, let’s say that the %X(1, 5) flag is included in the message and the date is 03/26/2001. The sub-string that will be included in the message is 03/26 because it will begin with the first character and include 5 characters. Once you have selected your flag and provided the optional parameter for it, you may click the Insert button. The form will close, and the selected flag will be inserted into your text message at the cursor.
