Chapter 3 : Creating a Project

Processes In the Warehouse Shelving example, you will want to perform different operations depending upon the input the user gives to the confirmation prompt. If the user enters Yes to confirm that the Product Name is correct, you want to proceed to print the label. If the user enters No to indicate that the Product Name is incorrect, you will want to return to the product name prompt screen to give the user an opportunity to enter the Product Name again.

This kind of decision logic and subsequent next operation to be performed is done using commands called processes in 123 Print. Processes are actions performed in-between screen prompts in your label programs. Please reference Chapter 5 – Using Processes for complete information on all the processes available in 123 Print.

Processes are added by selecting the reverse triangles/arrows between the screens on the left-hand side of the 123 Print Designer window.

A given process is performed after the related screen prompt is handled. If more than one process is added after a screen prompt, the processes are performed in the order in which they are found in the process list.

To continue with the Warehouse Shelving example,
