Summary
This article will explain how to customize the sub-category headings for process reports and labels in
the Solatech Window Covering Software.
More Information
The sub-category headings for process reports and labels are used to organize reports and labels so
that they can be grouped based on the type of report or label. The sub-category cannot be modified
directly in the software, however you can edit the report or label with a text editor to create your
own sub-categories.
Note: You should only change the sub-category headings for labels you have created yourself (from
scratch or by making copies of the built-in labels).
The following example will modify the sub-category heading of a production label that was copied
from one of the built-in labels.
- In SWCS, click Tasks, Manage Process Reports.
- Click the category Production Labels.
- From the list of labels locate the one you want to modify. Make note of the label name. In this case, "Horizontal Cut Down Label".
- Close Manage Process Reports.
- From the File menu, click File Manager.
- Change the file type to Reports.
- Make note of the folder where the report files are located.
- Close File Manager.
- Click Start, Run, type "notepad" and press Enter to run the Windows Notepad application.
- From the File menu, click Open.
- Navigate to the folder where the SWCS report files are located.
- Change the file type to "All Files".
- Locate and select the actual label file. The file name will be the same as the label name with a .xml file extension. In this case "Horizontal Cut Down Label.xml".
- Click Open.
- Locate the sub-category section near the top of the file. It will be the words between "SubCategory" and "/SubCategory". For example: <SubCategory>Horizontal Blind Labels</SubCategory>
- Change the text between the field markers to the name of the sub-category you want. For example: <SubCategory>My Horizontal Blind Labels</SubCategory>.
- Save and close Notepad.
- In SWCS, click Tasks, Manage Process Reports.
- On the toolbar, click Tools, Refresh.
- Click on the category Production Labels. The label "Horizontal Cut Down Label" is now listed under its own sub-category called "My Horizontal Blind Labels".
