Label template subject types

Every template is for one subject. The subject decides what data the label can show.

Subject	Describes	Typically shows
Product	A variant	Name, SKU, barcode, price, and lot dates where the variant has lots
Location	An addressable spot inside a site	The location's code and a barcode to scan it
Licence plate	A licence plate — a scannable container	The plate's identifier and barcode

The subject limits what you can put on

A location label cannot show a price, because a location does not have one. A product label cannot show a plate identifier.

So pick the subject first. It is not a category for tidiness — it determines what data is available to place.

One default each

One template per subject can be the default: the one a print button uses when nobody chooses.

Three defaults in total, one per subject. Most printing needs no decision — press print on a product and the default product template is what comes out.

Changing which template is the default takes effect immediately for anything printed afterwards. It does not alter labels already printed — see label templates.

Templates are organisation-wide

A template belongs to your organisation and every site uses the same ones. A product label looks the same wherever it was printed.

Which printer it goes to is per-site. The design is not.

Status

Draft while you are working on it. Active once in use. Archived when retired.

There is no version history — a template is a layout, rendered fresh each print, so there is nothing to roll back to.
