Alexandria custom label reports give you a way to control and customize the look of your barcode and spine labels. You can choose what information to display, where it's displayed on the label, and whether it's bold, regular, or even colored. The custom label report interface contains a loose representation of an actual label's height and width. These are not meant to be an exact—just enough to get a rough feel for how they are laid out.
When you're finished customizing your labels, click Create Saved Report so it's ready the next time you need it. Remember to give it a descriptive title so you know exactly what the labels are formatted for.
