A Supervisor brings production work into LabelRules. Importing records and changing the mapping that interprets them are separate jobs; an Author and Reviewer control mapping changes.
Prepare the correct file
Open Production jobs and find Bring in your jobs. Select the import type the site supports. Download its example and use it to check column names and expected values.
Preserve exact references and customer codes. Check quantities and dates rather than trusting a spreadsheet's displayed formatting. If the page requests a source capture time, record when the source data was captured, using the meaning and format shown on the page.
Stores locations require a workflow that supports that source type. If the location import option is absent, ask the Author and Reviewer whether the site's release supports location labels. Do not disguise a location file as a works-order file.
Import and inspect
- Confirm the selected site, file and import type.
- Submit the file once and wait for the result.
- Read any validation message and the resulting import information.
- Open representative jobs or locations and check exact references, revision information and resolved values.
- Tell operators which work is ready only after these checks.
If the import fails, correct the stated file or source problem and submit a deliberate new import. Do not assume some rows are ready unless the result explicitly confirms them.
When a reference already exists
Check its source revision and accepted runs before acting. A new file can represent a later source revision or a different import cycle. It is not a replacement for accounting for labels already accepted or printed.
If work changed after preparation, the earlier preview can be refused. The operator should prepare and review the current work rather than repeatedly accepting an old preview.
Print a complete list
On eligible routed stations, Check every row as a label list creates a list for checking and controlled batch delivery. It is not a “print everything immediately” shortcut. Read label lists and review held rows before acceptance.
Troubleshoot a missing job
Compare the exact scanned reference with the imported value. Check the site and import result. If the CSV needs a different interpretation, give the Author the raw row and intended values for a mapping change. Avoid editing a scanner prefix or stripping characters merely to conceal a source mismatch.
