Label Maintenance is used to create, edit and manage your shelf, product and shelf talker (promotion) label templates. 

Shelf, product and shelf talker (promotion) label templates can be customised to suit your pharmacy needs.

From the Minfos Launch Pad: 

1. Click the Special menu and select Utilities.

The Utilities module is displayed.

2. Click the Label Maintenance icon.

The Label Maintenance window is displayed, which shows your pharmacy’s label templates.

The Created by column displays Minfos or Store for each label.

  • Labels created by Minfos are default label templates, which cannot be edited, renamed, deleted, imported or exported.
  • Store-created labels are those that are either newly-created at your pharmacy, copies of Minfos labels, or imported. These labels can be edited, renamed, deleted, imported and exported.

This article covers:

Setting a label as active or inactive:

You can set a Minfos label as inactive so that they are not visible across your label printing windows.

Most default Minfos labels are set as active and are shown with the green “A” icon (). When you set a label as inactive, the label is no longer visible in any of the label printing windows.

To toggle the active status of a label, go to:

  1. The Label Maintenance window, click a label template to highlight it.
  2. Click Set Active. The label’s active status is changed.

  • Use an existing label as a template, and then edit the copy to suit your pharmacy’s needs.
