How to configure a label template

[pbchase]

Design the label configuration software to enable us to provide pre-built templates that load configuration content into editable fields. The editable fields can be saved under a new name. This allows the creation of prebuilt labels, customization of existing labels, and the development of entirely new labels.

The config fields would be:

• label_template_name - "My aliquot labels"
• label_name - "DFP-103"
• label_purpose - "1FL ADRC site data collection"
• label_customer - "1FL ADRC"
• label_height - 0.625
• label_width - 1.823
• sample_image
• zpl - "^XA
  ^PW380^LL192
  ^FO26,30^A0N,30,24^FD${barcode}^FS
  ^FO32,60^BQN,2,2,Q,7^FDQA,${barcode}^FS
  ^FO94,88^A0N,30,24^FD${ptid} ${type}^FS
  ^FO318,43^BQN,2,2,Q,1^FDQA,${barcode}^FS
  ^XZ"
• field_data
  • name1, description - barcode, text of the barcode
  • name2, description - ptid, Patient ID
  • name2, description - type, Specimen type
  • ...
  • nameN, description

Here is some example JSON to represent that data:

{
    "label_template_name": "My aliquot labels",
    "label_name": "DFP-103",
    "label_purpose": "1FL ADRC site data collection",
    "label_customer": "1FL ADRC",
    "label_height": 0.625,
    "label_width": 1.823,
    "zpl": [
        "^XA,",
        "^PW380^LL192",
        "^FO26,30^A0N,30,24^FD${barcode}^FS",
        "^FO32,60^BQN,2,2,Q,7^FDQA,${barcode}^FS",
        "^FO94,88^A0N,30,24^FD${text1} ${text2}^FS",
        "^FO318,43^BQN,2,2,Q,1^FDQA,${barcode}^FS",
        "^XZ"
    ],
    "field_data": [
        {
            "name": "barcode",
            "description": "text of the barcode"
        },
        {
            "name": "text1",
            "description": "left-most text blob"
        },
        {
            "name": "text2",
            "description": "right-most chunk of text"
        }
    ]
}
