Help with printing name tags

Good Morning!

I am trying to figure out how to use the print member name tag option. I have read your forum post on it but there seems to be something I am missing.

I would have thought that selecting the members from the member list, and selecting "make name tag" option, would automatically populate a page with the correct names. Do I have to manually add the information? If so, then why do I need to select individual names?

Also, I can only seem to pull up one "tag." There doesn't seem to be a way to create multiple tags. However, your sample at the bottom of your forum page on how to print name tags, shows a picture with 4 name tags each with a different individual.

What am I missing??

Gillian,

Is it possible to send a screen shot of you your print preview looks like?

Refer to our doc on this:

support.toastmastersclubs.org/doc/item/creating-name-tags

You don't edit every name tag or put people's names into them. You just edit the template (the "layout") that all name tags will share in common and decide where the fill-in information (e.g. names) will go in that layout. If you use one of the pre-defined templates as a starting place, your life will be easier.

Ok,

I just selected and adjusted the template and hit print. Now I can see each of the names on the print preview. That is a help. However, How do I distinguish the officers from the members. For instance, I selected Nalin A, Doug M. Robin S and Tom Z, but Nalin is our SAA. How do I populate his name tag to include his officer role, while keeping the other tags without?

Well, first of all, given what you are saying, your officer roles are probably set incorrectly in Membership Management. (I looked)

The name tag tool goes directly off of what is in the MM info.

You can add in the officer role via the {{officerrole}} place holder.

The earlier screen shot was the original problem I was having. Here is the second shot.



Can I mix the names on a sheet and the ones with officer roles will populate but the regular members won't? I really appreciate your help. The two previous club secretaries both gave up on using the Free Toast Host option and printed name tags through an Avery Kit. I really want to be able to use what you are offering! Once I understand it, I can pass the information onto our new secretary. I am the club President.
