WWI: Using the Label Wizard (SAP Library

WWI: Using the Label Wizard

Prerequisites

You have started the current version of WWI (see Starting and Closing WWI).

The report template is at the start of work.

Procedure

Choose WWI ® Label Wizard.

The WWI Label Wizard dialog box appears.

Enter the height and width of your label.

You can specify the unit of measurement in Microsoft Word under Tools ® Options ® General ® Measurement units.

Choose Create label layout.

WWI creates a label template with the specified format.

Result

You can define other text segments on the label template using Insert ® Text Box.

Within a text segment you can use the functions of WWI, for example, the Automatic Character Sizing.

You assign the released label template to a generation variant. You can restrict the usability of the generation variant by defining application objects. See Generation Variant and Defining Application Objects.

You generate labels that contain specification symbols as reports and release them in report management.

You open labels without a reference to a specification directly in the report information system.

If you created a report template with the Wizard and call the label from report management or the report information system, the SAP System loads the Labeling Tool. The Labeling Tool provides different standard sizes for display and printing purposes. In addition, you can define your own formats with the help of the Labeling Tool. (See Using the Labeling Tool.)

Note

Labels for which the Labeling Tool is loaded cannot be exported, sent, or printed out via the R/3 spool.

In the report information system and report management, you call reports that were created with the Label Wizard using the icon . You call reports that were created without the Label Wizard using the icon .

If you have not used the Label Wizard, Microsoft Word is opened directly.
