Open dialog allows you to open the existing configurations in Automation Builder.
Browse allows selecting the configuration files on local or connected network drives.
Document Storage opens the document storage location of the connected NiceLabel Control Center. The Document Storage option allows you to manage your copy of the stored configuration file.
Recent Files field lists the latest configuration files that have been edited. Click any of them to open the file.
NiceLabel Automation allows you to load trigger configurations that were built using legacy NiceWatch products. In the majority of cases, you can run NiceWatch configuration using NiceLabel Automation without any modifications.
NiceLabel Automation products are using a new .NET based print engine optimized for performance and low memory footprint. The new print engine does not support each label design option that is available in the label designer. Each new release of NiceLabel Automation is closing the gap, but you might still come across certain unavailable features.
Save saves the active configuration using the same file name that was used for opening it.
Note
If a configuration has been opened for the first time, Save directs you to the Save as dialog.
Save as allows saving the active configuration file by defining its name and location. You can save your configuration files to your local disc or Document Storage in your NiceLabel Control Center
Recent folders field lists the folders that were recently used for saving the configuration files.
Use settings in this dialog box to customize the application. Select a group from the left-hand panels and configure its settings.
