If you have the object already positioned on the form, select it, then choose the appro-
priate variable in the list.
l
If the object is not already on the form, you can first select the variable in the list and then
click the form where you want the element positioned. Text element will appear there
and will be connected to the chosen variable.

If you want any other object (and not text) connected to the variable, you can first select
the variable in the list, then click the desired element in the Toolbox and then click on the
form.
l
You can click on the small arrow button next to the object icon in the toolbox, select the
option Use Existing Variable, select the variable from the list and click on the form.
Variable toolbar always shows the name of the variable, which is attached to the currently selected
object. If there are two or more elements selected and do not have the same variable attached to it,
then the variable combo box is empty.

Defining Actions
Browse for File or Folder
The action opens a file browser window. The action settings offer details which enable easier con-
textual file or folder browsing, such as a pre-defined extension filter and starting directory.
Note:
If the checkbox is marked to indicate that the name of the selected file will be saved as a variable,
see the appropriate sections of Help to learn more about variables.
Filter: Define the file browsing filters. You may choose between preset filter choices or enter your
own.
Initial Directory: Choose which folder will be open by default in the browsing window.
Condition: This is a scripting boolean expression. Only two results are possible (True and False).
Use this option to enable current action only when some term is met. The action will be started only
if condition returns True as the result of the expression.
Close Label
Use this command to force closing the label that you previously opened with a command Open
Label .
Do not use this action if printing speed is important to you. By default, Power Forms will open the
label and keep it open as long the application runs. Keeping the label open saves you time you would
otherwise spend for re-loading the label. In time-critical label-printing environments every second
can count.
Note: Power Formswill not see the changes in the label file that label designer made and will con-
tinue to print the older label contents. If the design of your label templates changes frequently, make
sure to use the action Close Label, otherwise don't use it to speed up printing.
