To print every row, switch on Include the full history. A hidden category will be omitted from the report unless you switch on Include hidden categories.

Card options

Under Card options, pick a layout and what goes on the card. The preview shows each selected animal’s card. Print the PDF at actual size (100%), so each card lands on its label.

Label layouts

  • Rack label2⅝ × 1 in, 30 a sheet (Avery 5160)
  • Tub label2 × 4 in, 10 a sheet (Avery 5163)
  • Index card3 × 5 in, 4 a sheet, cut lines
  • One card a pageFor a label printer, at the size picked
  • Rack label fits four short lines beside the code: the record ID; the name, sex and species; the morph or a venom warning; and the ranges. A long range gets a line of its own in smaller print, and about 40 characters show
  • Tub label, the default, prints everything you tick except the photo
  • Index card prints everything you tick, the photo too
  • One card a page is for a label printer, at the size you pick

To use up a sheet you’ve started, set Start at label to its first free label. Labels count along each row, then down.

  • 4Tub labelStart at label 4

A long temperature or humidity range takes a row of its own on a tub label or index card, wrapping to two lines. When a range on one of the picked animals would print cut short on the layout you chose, a ! beside Temp range or RH range says on how many animals and how much shows; shorten the range on the animal or pick a bigger card.
