If you go into preview you'll see that Servoy places labels automatically form left to right, downwards.


Is it possible to have labels going from top to bottom, left to right?

1 4 7
2 5 8
3 6 9

thanks

Hi Jan,

I know this was a LONG time ago, but I am just finishing off a new system (converted from FM) where I had to create a labels form and didn't think about across or down, just doing them, but now client has said to me that the labels MUST go down the page first, then across :(
Is this still not possible (I am now on 7.1)??
Do I need to make a feature request ??
This could turn into a major problem for me if not...
Thanks

If I am not mistaken what you want can be done using JasperReports.
So not all is lost ;)

Hope this helps.

Phew!
Thank goodness.
I will have to look into that, but not enough time at the moment...
Shame it's not a 'toggle' in Servoy to just change the direction things go 8-)

BTW, I sent you an email last week, did you get it??

Thanks

Hi Rafi,

I don't recall receiving any email from you last week, And the last one I can find from you is from 2011 :)

Provide mail merge data and make the client do the rest with Avery online labels.

1. Choose a product or starting point. IE: "Name Badges and ID Cards" or product number.
2. Choose a starting design
3. Customize design
4. Mail merge data into design
5. Set printing options (yes, you can fill down first)
6. Print
7. Optionally: create an account and save all of your designs for reuse
