Introduction

Similar to Inventory Item Bar Codes, Labels can be created for your Assets as well. In Total Office Manager, Asset Labels are created as easily as running a report.

Label Stock Requirements

These labels are designed to print on Avery brand #8160 labels (or equivalent) which are 1″ x 2-5/8″ in size, having 30 labels per sheet in a 3-column by 10-row layout.  Most other labels, such as removable labels, will also work as long as the label size and layout is the same as the Avery 8160 product.

Form Access

  • From the main menu, click Reports | Labels | Asset Labels, or use the Report Navigator.

Report Options

The following options are available for the Asset Labels Report.

Print Options

  • Across Then Down – When ticked, the labels will print as a row across the page before advancing down to print across the page in a new row (the same way you write a letter, left to right…top to bottom).
  • Down Then Across – When ticked, the labels will first print as a column down the left-hand side of the page, then advance to print the middle column, then finally print the right-hand column.

Buttons

  • Cancel – The Cancel button closes the window.
  • Preview – The Preview button will show an on-screen display of the report, from which a hard-copy can be printed.  The preview screen is also capable exporting the report in a PDF format for email use.  A text search function in the preview screen can be used to locate a particular string of text.
