The Label Designer section is where you can create and edit your label designs (e.g. dispensary label, address label, total script label, stock label, shelf talkers, webster etc).

In most cases, after you've been converted over to Z Software, we'll assist you in getting all your label designs to your liking. This guide is for reference if you ever want to change a label.

Creating or Editing a Label

Note: Generally, we recommend using the default labels (indicated with a ) as a starting point, as it makes it easier to customise than starting from scratch.

1. Go to Z Office > Tools > Label Designer > Create New
   
   
2. The Select Label Type window should appear:
   
   
   
   Select from either Stock Label, Dispense Label, Dispense Other Label or Pak Foil 


3. The Add New Label Details window should appear:  
   Please click on one of the links to expand.
