The different print templates are referred to as "Projects". Along with the actual print information, a project also contains, above all, layout specifications such as page size and orientation, fonts, colors, frames, circles, lines, graphics etc. The Designer can handle three different types of projects: Lists, labels and cards.

The individual elements of such a project are called "objects". For example, a project can contain text objects, picture objects and a report container.

The required objects are normally selected in the object list, created on the workspace with the mouse and then given the respective contents and layout properties.

The Designer provides different types of objects which you can position freely in the workspace and change the size as required.

§ Text and contents of variables

§ Lines

§ Rectangles

§ Circles and ellipses

§ Picture object

§ Barcode

§ Report container or Table object (depending on the application): The Report containers can hold tables, charts, crosstabs and Gantt charts.

§ Charts: Schematic view of data.

§ Crosstabs: For presenting data in multiple dimensions.

§ Formatted text: For changing the formatting within a line.

§ Form elements: For entering data in the preview and PDF format.

§ Data Graphic: For simple visualization of data as a bar or symbol.

§ Gauge: For visualization of data as gauge or scale.

§ HTML content: For embedding HTML pages.

§ PDF: For embedding PDF documents.

§ OLE container. For linking OLE documents (e.g. Word, Excel).

§ Form templates are placed in the background of the workspace as a template so that other objects can be aligned to them.
