Note: This is a really unorganized and basic label but this workflow should be the same for any new label.

You can remove all bands besides the detail band by resizing them until their height is 0 (so they disappear).

Please read our documentation on creating reports and labels available here!

  1. Click on the floppy disk icon to save :floppy_disk: (floppy disk) in the top left corner

Give the label a name so that you can recognize it once you return to Specify 6.

  1. Returned to Specify and click the Refresh button in the Reports tab.

You should now be able to see your new label or report!
