Creating a schema
Introduction
Before you can create a print job for printing a batch of labels, you must
create and configure one or more schemas.
This topic describes how to create, update, copy, and delete a schema.
To learn how to configure a schema, see “Configuring a schema” on
page 126.
Before you start
This procedure assumes that PlateTag is already open.
Creating a schema
To create a schema:
1. Click the Schemas tab at the bottom of the page.
2. Click Create new schema.
3. Replace the text New Schema #x in the Profile list box with a name
of your choice.
4. Click Rename schema.
The button label changes to Update schema and the schema is
created.
Updating a schema
Updating a schema is the same as saving a changed schema.
To update a schema after making changes:
1. In PlateTag, click the Schemas tab at the bottom of the page.
2. Click Update schema.
Copying a schema
If you want a new schema that is similar to an existing one, it is quicker
to copy the existing one than create a new schema.
To copy a schema:
1. In PlateTag, click the Schemas tab at the bottom of the page.
2. Click Create copy.
The schema is saved to the drive specified for schemas in the
preferences with the name of the original schema prefixed with the
text “Copy of” (for example, “Copy of schema one”).
