LOTS allows you to edit Shelf Labels before they are printed to save wasting label stationery.The labels can be viewed, and/or deleted directly in the print queue before they are printed.
To edit your shelf labels:
- From the LOTS Start, select ‘Tools’ (as shown in Figure 2.5.1).
- Select ‘Utilities’.
- Select ‘Stock Utilities’.
- Select ‘Print Shelf Labels’ (as shown in Figure 2.5.2).
- Your print label queue will now display (as shown on next page).
- To edit the labels, select the ‘Edit’ menu at the top of the screen (as shown in Figure 2.5.3).
- The available options from this menu are:
- Insert [Ins] – which inserts shelf labels directly into your shelf label queue;
- Delete [Del] – which deletes labels from the queue;
- Select All [Ctrl+A] – this selects all of the labels in the queue to either delete or print; and
- Find [Ctrl+F] – to find a particular item’s listing in the queue.
- By selecting the ‘Insert’ option, this will display the ‘Add to Shelf Label Queue’ screen (as shown in Figure 2.5.4).

- The ‘Select An Item’ screen will display (as shown in Figure 2.5.5).
- By selecting the required item(s) and pressing the ‘Add/Remove’ button this will add the item to the shelf label queue
- Once you have selected an item to add to the shelf label queue it will be displayed in the ‘x item(s) in List’ tab. The number of items that have been added to the tab will reflect in the name of it (as shown in Figure 2.5.6).
- Alternatively, if you wish to remove shelf labels that are no longer required then, from the ‘Search’ tab, highlight the unnecessary label.
