Import and migration

Bring existing labels and automation into a clearer workflow.

Convert supported designs and processes, inspect what carried over, and keep the remaining work visible. Start with one representative label and its data path, then build a migration around evidence you can review.

A report you can act on

See the mapping and the work that remains.

The import report lists converted documents and diagnostics, including the affected construct and available guidance. It gives the label specialist a concrete starting point for adaptation.

In the synthetic example, the importer retains an input binding and flags a legacy script calculation it cannot execute. The next step is explicit: supply the value from the automation or rebuild the calculation in CEL.

The displayed mapping percentage describes this uploaded example. The diagnostics still decide what needs review.

Choose a supported entry point

Match the source file to its conversion path.

NiceLabel label files

Import supported constructs from .nlbl designs into editable label documents. Review the resulting objects, variables, artwork, fonts and any conversion findings.

NiceLabel automation

Convert supported .misx process definitions into automation documents. Inspect trigger settings, assignments, conditions, label references and the actions that need adaptation.

Prompt-variable data

The .lvr path reads supported prompt-variable information. Its scope is narrower than a complete label layout or automation migration.

Check the report for the actual file.Recognizing an extension does not establish complete conversion. BarTender .btw recognition currently reports unmapped content; it is not a complete .btw label conversion. Use the import documentation for the current format boundaries.

Artwork and retained findings

Carry the review into the new document.

When the source references linked artwork, the import view can request the missing files. Attach those files and rerun conversion to see the resolved result before adopting it.

Supported label import findings remain attached to the adopted design. Open them in the Designer, inspect the affected objects and mark findings resolved as you complete the review.

Open findings are visible warnings. Resolving one records the review decision; it does not certify physical output.

  1. Upload a representative source

    Choose the label and automation that capture a real operational need, including their related artwork.

  2. Inspect and adapt

    Read the diagnostics, supply missing assets, configure connections and replace unsupported calculations or actions.

  3. Exercise the resulting workflow

    Use normal and exceptional inputs. Check mappings and rendered labels, then inspect the actual print request and controlled output sample.

  4. Roll out a reviewed version

    Adopt the converted documents, assign an explicit version and check application at the intended local service.

Layout and type

Check label dimensions, text wrapping, barcode data and the fonts available on the new rendering path. A device-font legacy label needs its own output comparison.

Data and decisions

Follow source values through assignments and conditions. Confirm what happens when a field is missing or a connection fails.

Operator handoff

Build a generated or custom form around the adopted label's inputs, so the daily task has a clear path after migration.
