Customizing label formats

You can customize that information that appears on label formats created by your laboratory.

About this task

New label formats are blank when they are created. You must customize the format to show the information that you want displayed. New labels and existing labels are modified the same way. Only label formats that your laboratory created can be modified. Label formats that are pre-defined in LDMS cannot be changed.
