Inserting fields into custom labels
You can insert different types of objects into labels, such as text boxes, fields, barcodes, lines, and pictures.
Pre-requisites: You can edit existing labels. However, the best practice is to create a new label (which can be based on an existing label), and save the label with a new name. Refer to Creating new labels using the Label Designer for more information.
