Our users print out and attach labels to cannabis entities such as batches, mother plants, lots, etc. to identify them. They can design the labels to meet their needs, but in order to do so, they need to know how! That’s where we come in.
For this task, create a knowledge base article in a Google Doc that explains how to create and manage labels.

Requirements
By referencing this article, users should be able to:
- Get to the label manager and start creating/editing labels
- Understand every field at the top of the page, especially how the options they select from the Type and Sub Type dropdown menus affect things.
- Design a label with the elements listed below.
| Element | Required Explanations |
| Heading | Just the basics. |
| Text | The basics, along with how to use variables for this element. Perhaps variables should be explained as well somewhere. |
| Fieldset | It prompts the user for text, so it isn't obvious what to do. Explain how to get it to change the font or draw shapes such as a box. Hint*: Our clients use Zebra printers. Notice the value in the Format field at the top of the page. Look it up to find out more.* |
| Barcode | Just the basics. |
| Line | Just the basics. |
| Image | None. You can skip this element for this task. |
The article doesn't need to follow the order listed above. You can shuffle things around and add content as you see fit.
Result
A user should be able to create a label with all the elements listed above. Here's an example:
General Guidelines and Tips
Consider the ways in which the audience will use the help article and how the information should be organized. Assume they are coming in with their printer already set up and connected to GrowerIQ, but have no prior knowledge about designing labels.
- Don’t worry about linking to other articles. No links needed for this task!
- The style guide is just there to help
- You can include typical formatting elements like headings and tables to organize information clearly.
