2 lables from 1 data entry
I have 2 lable formats that have some identical fields between them. Cuold I somehow join them and enter all data from 1 data entry form?
I'm working on more complex solution using .NET SDK but would like to set up a simple solution quickly.

Are the labels:
- the same size?
- printed on the same or a different printer?
- is the 2nd label always printed?
- do you print the same number of labels of each or are they variable or is one or both fixed?

Hi Peter,
Same size
Same printer
Second always printed but:
Second needs several printed with 2 variables changing. One variable is how many of the lable is printed and it is also shown on the first lable.

I wondered if you could do it via multiple templates from the same label but if the print quantity of the 2nd label is variable too then that would not be possible.
You could look at using an Action from a the Data Entry Form to open and print the second label but probably the simplest way is set up a file Integration.
- From the Administer menu you could set the first label to log all the fields that it prints and include (to the side of the label so they dont print but are logged and this should also include a quantity for the 2nd label) into a text file. I would suggest using the label format name as the log file.
- Set the fields on the second label to have a Database source linked to a log file created above so you have the field order etc.
- Create an Integration to wait for the log file to be created and then set it to open the 2nd label, use the log file as the database and then print the label and delete the log.
- You should also create a 2nd integration to delete the log files created by the second label printing as BarTender will log every label created as per the settings configured above.
