Im port ing and Ex port ing the La bel Library

This feature allows you to save the labels from the label library into a .lbl file format. Once saved, the file can be
loaded into another project.
To save the label library:
1. Click on Save Label File... The open dialog box appears.
2. Enter the name of the file where you wish to save the data.
3. Click Open.
To load the label library from an existing .lbl file:
1. Click Load Label File... The Open dialog box appears.
2. Browse for the lbl file that contains the labels.
3. Click Open.
The label library can also be imported and exported using a comma-separated variable (.csv) file format. This
format is very useful if you need to make several changes to the database. When creating a new project, it is easier
and faster to create tags as .csv files.
To export the label library:
1. Click Export CSV File... The Open dialog box appears.
2. Enter the name of the file where you wish to save the data.
3. Click Open.
To import the label library:
1. Click Import CSV File... The Open dialog box appears.
2. Browse for the CSV file that contains the labels.
3. Click Open.

containing all of the labels in the database.
