It's sort of arcane how the chunk of code gets in there, but that's all it takes: selecting the special chunk of code and pasting it right into the wiki page for that thing. | ||
Help me here: why doesn't the 'nowiki' section of text show up properly (with page breaks, etc.) here? I'm not super familiar with wiki markup. | |||

== Configuring a Label Template == | |||
Entering in the information into the label template code is one of the barriers to use. | |||
* Set the 'owner' to either owner=PS:One or the name of the member that owns it. | |||
* Set 'hostarea' to the Hosted Area where the thing belongs. Examples: hostarea=CNC or hostarea=General or hostarea=Kitchen or hostarea=Cold Metals | |||
There are 9 currently valid Hosted Area names. Could someone please add a complete list of valid entries? The name of the Hosted Area should be the same as the Category name so that the Hosted Area pages populate automatically. | |||
* Set 'hackable' to hackable=yes or hackable=no | |||
* Set 'certification' to certification=yes or certification=no [yes, I know, we're calling it authorization now, not certification, but that's a legacy change that will take forever to implement in this wiki] | |||
* Set the other fields to appropriate information, as accurately as you can determine. | |||
== Printing A Label == | |||
You can print out the label from the tool's wiki page, and attach it to the tool. If there is no label, incomplete labeling, or incorrect labeling, you can make changes or additions to the wiki to fix that. | You can print out the label from the tool's wiki page, and attach it to the tool.

Some people like to print the label on an actual label printer, but it works just fine to print out the first page of a tool's wiki page on any printer and cut the label out for use. | |||
