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.

  1. In SWCS, click Tasks, Manage Process Reports.
  2. Click the category Production Labels.
  3. 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".
  4. Close Manage Process Reports.
  5. From the File menu, click File Manager.
  6. Change the file type to Reports.
  7.  Make note of the folder where the report files are located.
  8. Close File Manager.
  9. Click Start, Run, type "notepad" and press Enter to run the Windows Notepad application.
  10. From the File menu, click Open.
  11. Navigate to the folder where the SWCS report files are located.
  12. Change the file type to "All Files".
  13. 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".
  14. Click Open.
  15. 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>
  16. Change the text between the field markers to the name of the sub-category you want. For example: <SubCategory>My Horizontal Blind Labels</SubCategory>.
  17. Save and close Notepad.
  18. In SWCS, click Tasks, Manage Process Reports.
  19. On the toolbar, click Tools, Refresh.
  20. 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".
