Print Sticker Action

Print Sticker is an action you add to dashboards or record view pages. Users click it on one or more records and the label prints via the browser.

By default, Print Sticker prints a standard label with logo, tracking ID, and tracking info. Add a Sticker form to print a custom layout instead. Configuring a form is optional — without one, the standard label still works.

Backward compatible

Existing Print Sticker actions without a form keep working unchanged. Sticker forms are purely additive.

To create a Sticker form first, see Sticker Forms.

Add the Action​

Print Sticker can be added in three places. In each case you follow the standard action-configuration flow and then set the optional Sticker Form field described below.

Row action — dashboard​

  1. Open the Type Widget in Design Studio.
  2. In the Columns section, open the Actions column's settings.
  3. Click Add Action, set Action Type to Print Sticker, and give it a display name.
  4. In the Sticker Form field, select the Sticker form to use.

This adds a per-row Print Sticker button to every record in the dashboard. (Not available on relation grid widgets.)

Bulk action — dashboard​

  1. Open the Type Widget in Design Studio.
  2. Go to the Bulk Actions section.
  3. Click Add, set Action Type to Print Sticker, and give it a display name.
  4. In the Sticker Form field, select the Sticker form to use.

Users select multiple rows and trigger Print Sticker to print labels for all of them in one browser-print session — one label per page.

Print Sticker bulk action

Page action — record View template​

  1. Open the Page Template in Design Studio, then open the View template for your type.
  2. Open Action Settings.
  3. Click Create, set Action Type to Print QR Code.
  4. In the Sticker Form field, select the Sticker form to use.
  5. Close the panel and Save the template.

This adds a Print QR Code button to the record's view page toolbar.

The Sticker Form Field​

All three surfaces expose the same Sticker-specific field once Print Sticker is chosen as the Action Type:

FieldDescription
Sticker FormThe Sticker-mode form to print. The dropdown lists only Sticker-mode forms built for this type. Leave blank to use the default QR-code-only label.
Go to Sticker Form (↗ icon)Opens the selected form in Design Studio in a new tab for quick editing.
Referential integrity

If a Print Sticker action names a Sticker Form, that form must exist and be a Sticker-mode form for the type. Deleting or renaming a Sticker form without updating the actions that reference it will cause a save error when you try to save the widget.

What Users See​

The Print Sticker dialog​

Clicking Print Sticker (single record or multi-select) opens a dialog showing the selected record(s). The user then:

  1. Picks a size from the "Please Select Sticker Size" dropdown.
    • If a Sticker form is configured, the form's authored size is pre-selected and marked (Default). Other standard sizes and a Custom entry are also available.
    • If no Sticker form is configured, only the standard sizes are offered.
  2. Protrak renders each label. A "Preparing stickers…" spinner shows a (ready / total) count for bulk prints. OK stays disabled until every label has finished loading.
  3. Clicking OK opens the browser's print dialog.

Printed output​

  • Labels print at the chosen physical size, with the optional border from the form settings.
  • Your authored layout is uniformly scaled to fit if the user picks a different size — the design is never distorted.
  • In a bulk print, each record gets its own page (one label per page).
