Within Prompt - Display Previous Input Data
Hello. We are using Bartender 9.3. I have a label that is looking via ODBC connection into our database for information to populate the label which is items on a packing slip. Currently, I have a label set to 1... so that it brings up the selection and then we can choose. This is working well. The next step is to prompt for qty that is actually shipping. While i have the prompt working fine to come up for each item, it is difficult for the user to know what to input as I am trying to come up with a way to display within the prompt one of the items that were selected previously. For example,
User selects Items 1ab, 2ab, 5gn, 10ab from the items that are generated from the initial lookup. When they are prompted for qty, currently they just see 'Please enter Qty', then you put in the qty and then you get 'Please enter Qty'. This is an issue because they aren't sure if the qty is for 1ab, 2ab, 5gn, or 10ab. This isn't an issue for 1 item or even 2, but most of these will have 10+ items.
How can I display the item on the qty prompt so they know what the qty is for?
Thanks in advance.

On the left hand side of the 'select records to print' dialog there is a number. Says 1 for ones that are printing, and 0 for ones that aren't. Your user can use that to specify the number of copies for each record. You really wouldn't even need to have that print time prompt come up, they could do it all from there.0 -
Thanks, I had that. I figured it out, guess i just needed to post it. I will put here for someone else if they run across this. If you go into your label design, click on your label prompt. Within here, go under create and select Text input box. Once you have this on your prompt form, click on properties and then go to Linked Sub-String and you can select the appropriate item and it will display in the box. Then, when they go to input the qty, they can see what Item they are doing so for.
Thanks.0
