    If you have already Created Templates, select the template you want to edit.

    The template will open in the Card Designer Window, this is where you will create your design template.

    The Newly Created Template will not be available in the OMNIA URL until you Stop and Exit the OMNIA Server App and Restart it and log back into the OMNIA URL

    We recommend Printing to PDF to verify if you like the positioning of the data fields, this will prevent using up tags/cards and using the printing ribbon. 

    The printer can be changed in the Plugin Manager. Plugin Manager Icon can be found in Show Hidden Icons in task bar.

    Select the Settings Tab, then use the Select Printer dropdown to select Print to PDF

    Save the Settings.
