Connecting to BarTender Cloud

To print your labels to BarTender Cloud from within Business Central, you must enter connection information for the BarTender Cloud account that you want to use, and then sync the data libraries between BarTender Cloud and Business Central. When you sync the data libraries, a list of all available printers, label templates, and template data fields is imported through BarTender Print Connector into Business Central for you to use to configure template mappings.

To connect Business Central to BarTender Cloud and sync the data libraries, follow these steps: 

  1. In Business Central, click the search icon in the top right corner, and then enter "BarTender" in the search box.

  2. Under Go to Pages and Tasks, click BarTender Setup.

    Note: The first time that you open the BarTender Setup page, you are prompted to allow BarTender Print Connector to make a request to an external service. Select Allow Always, and then click OK.

  3. On the BarTender Setup page, configure the following settings:

    • Root URL: Enter the base URL of your BarTender Cloud tenant if it is not already specified. You can obtain the URL by logging in to BarTender Cloud and copying it from the address bar in your browser.

      For example, the base URL resembles one of the following:

      • https://am1.bartendercloud.com/

      • https://eu1.bartendercloud.com/

      • https://ap1.bartendercloud.com/

    • ApplicationId: Enter your BarTender Cloud application ID, which is located in BarTender Cloud on the BarTender Cloud API page of the Manage Cloud Account view.

    • Client Secret: Enter your BarTender Cloud client secret, which is located in BarTender Cloud on the BarTender Cloud API page of the Manage Cloud Account view.

      For more information about the application ID and client secret, refer to BarTender Cloud API Page.

    • Username: Enter your BarTender Cloud user name.

    • Password: Enter your BarTender Cloud password.

    • Print Timeout: Optionally, configure the number of seconds that you want to elapse before a BarTender print job times out. For example, you might want to lengthen the print timeout period if you find that some print jobs take longer than expected to complete. The maximum value is 30 seconds.

  4. Click Test Connection to verify that the connection information is correct.

  5. Click Sync Libraries to sync your BarTender Cloud printer, label template, and template data field data with Business Central.

  6. Click the back button to exit the BarTender Setup page.
