In our older version we were able to edit the features in creating labels but this new PRO software I don’t see where that can be done. Can this still be accomplished in PRO?

Hello Yamaholick!
Firstly let me welcome you to our forum! We appreciate your participation here and thank you for your post.
Unfortunately, no, GAGEtrak Pro or Lite does not offer the ability to customize labels at this time. When we rebuilt the application for version 8, we found that the software used for the report or label customization was slowing things down, so we cut ties from it for right now.

Thanks for the information Drew! Are there plans to bring that back? That would be a very helpful feature for us.

Hi Colin, thanks for following up.
Short answer: there aren’t plans to bring back the old report and label designers in the same way they worked before. When GAGEtrak 8 was rebuilt, those tools had to be removed due to .NET compatibility and localization limitations, along with a shift in how reports and labels are handled in the system.
That said, reporting and labels are still very much on our radar. You’ve probably noticed the ad-hoc reporting that lets you modify listings without needing a full report redesign. The plan is to extend that same idea to labels, so you can control which fields appear on a label based on the current View filter, similar to how ad-hoc report listings work today.
For now, more complex report or label changes still need to go through customization services, but we’re actively looking at ways to make simpler changes easier and more accessible.
So while the original designers aren’t coming back as-is, the direction is toward more flexible, easier-to-use options going forward.
Okay, I’ll keep an eye out for that, thank you Rachel!

I’m here to chime in that we’d like customizable labels as well. My supervisor would like us to add our asset # to the label (recorded in GT as serial#.)
I see the responses and know it’s ‘not in the cards’ yet/soon. I’ve turned ‘tracking’ on this thread so keep us posted on any updates.
Thanks.

Also watching this thread as well for updates - would like a simple interface for updating labels.
