# Designing a label

Labels are stickers that can be used for communicating your business information. Using the Report Designer, you can design custom labels in Billings Pro and print them using print layouts. One label will be generated for each client you select in Billings Pro. You can print labels using a Dymo printer.

## To design a label

1. Choose Design > New Label.
2. Choose from the menu where will this layout/report be available in the application.
3. Enter a name for the template. Click Next.
4. Choose whether to start from a blank template or use one of the existing layouts. Selecting the latter gives you a host of templates to choose from.
5. Click Next.
6. To change the paper size, click Change.

   The Page Setup dialog opens.

7. Enter the appropriate settings. Click OK.
8. Click Next.

   Your layout is featured in the built-in editor.

9. Keep in mind the following:
   - You can edit a label by double-clicking a field in the editor pane. The Edit Dynamic Text sheet opens and you can make changes.
   - In the Edit Dynamic Text sheet, you can add new fields to the customized label by navigating the Fields column located on the right-hand side and clicking the "+" button. To remove a field, click on an appropriate field in the label (on the left side of the sheet), and press the Delete key in your keyboard.
   - You can adjust the style, spacing, and alignment of your fields by choosing the drop-down selectors located at the top-left of the Edit Dynamic Text sheet. Note: You can learn more about the Report Engine concepts in this document. Learn more about creating reports/layouts by clicking here.
10. Click OK.

    The label opens in the built-in editor with the default presets. If you wish, you may adjust the settings in the Info column of the editor.

11. Click Preview in the toolbar to see the label.
12. If you are happy with the design, save your label by choosing File > Save.
13. Specify a name and save the label in your Templates folder. Click Save.

    Billings Pro saves your label in the location you have specified. The path for the Templates folder is Home Folder > Library > Application Support > Billings Pro > Templates.
