EasierSoft Barcode Label Designer | Barcode Label Design & Bulk Label Printing Software | Configuring Barcode Elements on a Label | 1. Layout of the Interface | The program's main window is divided into three key sections: on the right side is the Visual Designer, where you assemble and arrange label elements; on the upper left is the Data Editor, where you input or manage the underlying data; and on the lower left is the Properties Panel, a form-driven settings area where you define parameters for each individual label element. | 
| 2. How Barcode Elements Are Connected to Data | As illustrated below, when you click on a barcode element in the right-hand label designer, the corresponding row in the upper-left data editor is automatically selected. Simultaneously, the lower-left properties panel displays detailed settings for that element including barcode type, size, coordinates, font, and font size. | In the data editor, you can enter a formula (for example, ==6) to indicate that this barcode's value should equal the value of the 6th label element, e.g., '111111111111'. In this example, the barcode is configured not to display its encoded text directly beneath it. Instead, a separate text element placed above the barcode shows that same value in human-readable form. This arrangement enables you to present clean barcodes on your labels while still offering readability for people. | 
| 3. Relationship Between Label Elements and Data Rows | As shown, the right-side label designer may contain, for example, ten elements (barcodes, text fields, graphics, etc.). Correspondingly, the data editor on the upper left contains ten rows -- one row for each label element, ensuring a one-to-one mapping between design elements and data entries. | 
| 4. Bulk-Data Entry and Editing Workflow | When you select a row in the data editor, a small button appears at the end of that row. Clicking this button opens a data-entry form, where you can paste or input many data items at once. This makes it easy to prepare multiple barcode labels containing different data in batch mode. For even greater efficiency, you can copy data directly from an Excel spreadsheet and paste it into this form. This feature dramatically streamlines the process when generating multiple labels in one go. For more in-depth guidance, please refer to our other documentation. | 
| 5. Detailed Properties for Each Label Element | When you click on a label element (on the right), the lower-right form shows its configuration details. In the example below, a barcode element is selected, the form displays its X and Y coordinates on the label, width, height, font, font size, typeface, barcode symbology, and other relevant parameters. If you select a text or graphic element instead, additional or different properties (e.g., color, alignment, image source) will be shown accordingly. | 
| 6. Adjusting Label Element Position Visually | In the lower-right, there are four arrow buttons that allow you to nudge the selected label element in any direction (up, down, left, right). Clicking an arrow moves the element by a defined increment, essentially the same as manually changing its X/Y coordinates. Alternatively, you can simply drag the element directly in the visual designer on the right. Between the arrow buttons is a checkbox used to set the movement increment (e.g., fine vs. coarse adjustments). There is also a 'Lock Items' checkbox on the right to freeze an element's position and prevent accidental dragging.
