Templates Tab

The Templates tab displays a list of all available templates in the open BarTender document. Using the Item Templates list, you can easily see how your templates are organized, reorder the templates, control the frequency with which each template prints, and specify conditional printing criteria for each template. For more information, refer to Using Template Selectors.
