Overview
While the label maker can appear complicated, once the process is broken down it's very simple

Labels are based on a Label Templates, and Label Basis:

Label Template
For Detailed Help

The physical template for your labels, usually in sheet form. The most recognizable label company is Avery, with labels like the 5160 being very common. Another popular source for labels is onlinelabels.com

Label Basis
For Detailed Help

Each label is based off a specific part of your Project. Generally you want one label per "item" in whatever category you're creating a label for. The Label Basis sets what group of "items" we create labels from, and what fields of information are available for each label

• Fixture Basis - One label per fixture added to your project
• Cable (Cablesheet) Basis - One label per cable from the Cable Worksheet
• Circuit (Circuit Worksheet) Basis - One label per Circuit from the Fixture Circuiting worksheet
• Cables (Circuit Worksheet) Basis - One label per Cable from the Circuiting Worksheet. This is meant to give you one label with all circuits of a cable, instead of one label per circuit
• Positions - One label per Position in your Project. This is meant for Position Labels, or Truss Labels
