Correspondence Labels

Create and Print Labels in TradeSchool for Avery 5160 or 5163.

Create Labels

To start, click on the module where you want to print labels. Next, click Correspondence > Labels > Details tab.

Here, you can create label templates. The available sizes are Avery 5160 and Avery 5163, which are designed for stick-on mailing labels or stick-on ID badges.

You can print and create labels from the Applications, Apprentices, and Contractors modules.

On the right, you may see a list of existing label templates.

1. Click the + icon to create a new label.
2. Enter the label name; your new label will now appear on the right.
3. The center area contains editable information for the currently selected label.
4. To add merge fields, click the Merge Fields tab and place the cursor in the content field.
5. On the right, use the 🔍 search to find the merge field you are looking for.
6. Click the merge field and it will appear where your cursor was in the content field.

Fields:

• The Name field is already set.
• The Description field is optional and can contain notes about the purpose of the label.
• The Sort number is 100 by default. Making the number smaller or larger will change the label's position in the list on the right.
• The Skip number allows you to skip down the sheet so your label starts further down the page. This is convenient if you are printing on a sheet where some of the labels have already been used.
• The Style selects from available Avery label sizes.
• The Content contains your formatted text and merge fields (if desired).
