Print Tags
Standard tags may be printed from the connections page. These tags have fixed values on them and are not configurable. On the index page, filter for the intended activity and select the required connections for which the tags are to be generated. If there are no selections made, then all the connections within the filtered activity will be available for tag generation. Hit the Print Tags button and select Permanent Tags.
Clicking the Permanent Tags button will result in a pop-up.
Select Print or Create a spreadsheet for an extract in Excel. It is recommended the tags are printed to a PDF file and then you may print them on 2” x 4” stickers or have a digital print company print them for you.
Once the Print option is selected, a print dialog box will appear. By default, the tags will be generated and arranged with a size of 2” x 4” per tag and 10 tags per page. The tags will fit into Avery 8463 Labels when printed with the correct settings.
Default Print settings are as follows:
Destination: Save as PDF
Pages: All
Layout: Portrait
Paper size: Letter
Margins: None
Scale: Default
If your site wants to make custom tags and/or on another type of medium (steel, heat-resistant stickers, etc.) then providing the PDF to the digital printer is the best option. The QR code is just a text representation of the permanent joint id.
Troubleshooting
If the tags are not aligned correctly or tags are appearing in-between pages, please try the following steps.
- Ensure the paper size is set to Letter. Selecting other paper sizes causes the tags to be scaled incorrectly.
- Margins are selected to None or
- Scale is set to Default or 100%.
