Adding objects
In this example we have added three text objects and a barcode object. The first text object contains only simple literal text ("Hello, my name is"). The second text object contains a single merge field ("${Name}") corresponding to the first field of a record (first column of a line) which contains the new crew member's full name. The third text field contains both literal text ("Department: ") followed by a single merge field ("${Department}") corresponding to the second field or the crew member's department. The barcode object is configured to use field (or key) "SN" which contains our crew member's starfleet serial number.
Now we can print our name tags by selecting the
Printing name tags
Just to make sure our labels are going to look okay, we select the

Everything looks good, so we can now load up our printer with the appropriate label stock, print our name tags and start beaming our guests aboard.
