Print Art Identification Tags

Work Order > Print Document sidebar button > Art ID Tags button

The Art ID Tag is a handy production tool; print and attach to unframed artwork for back room identification or adhere to wrapped, finished products as a label.

• Art ID tags can be printed on demand or set to print automatically while also printing Work Orders.

• Cut into strips if more than one Art ID Tag prints per page.

• If a Work Order has a quantity greater than one, then multiple Art ID tags can be printed (use the top Printer icon only) .

• A barcode is included to quickly find the Work Order: When customers pick up the work, scan the tag to see if the Work Order has been posted to an Invoice or to see if a balance is owing.

Printed Example

Four separate Work Orders

One Work Order with a Quantity of 3

If a Work Order has a quantity greater than one, then multiple Art ID tags can be printed. You must click the top Printer icon only.

How to Print Art ID Tags

• The Printer icon at the top of the Work Order screen, prints one tag (going down the page) for each number in the yellow Qty box. For example, if you have a Quantity of two, then the tag shows "1 of 2", and then "2 of 2". This is a great way to print one Art ID Tag for each piece.

• Alternatively, the Print This Customer's Work Orders button, the Print Documents button > "All [first name] orders" button, and the Print Documents button > Art ID Tags button, prints one tag (going down the page) for each Work Order. But instead of showing "1 of 2" and "2 of  2", these buttons print one tag for each Work Order and display the Work Order Qty, e.g. Qty: 4.

1. Locate the Work Order(s) for which to print tags.

2. If a Work Order has a quantity greater than one, then click the top Printer icon.
   
   

3. Click the Print Documents sidebar button.
   
   

4. The Print Documents window opens.
