Add a Canadian Date Field
In Canadian portals, only expiration and prepared date field features can be added to a printer profile, and will default to the required date format for labeling regulations.
Contact Tech Support for Canadian date fields if needed, see Contact & Support.
Steps:
1. Log in to the portal at www.datecodegenie.com using the recommended browser. See What Internet Browser Should I Use To Access My DateCodeGenie® Portal?
2. Click on the Printer Profiles tab on the side bar.
3. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) from a Printer Profile to edit, or add new Printer Profile. See Manage Printer Profiles.
4. Click on the Layout Designer button.
5. Click the Item dropdown menu to select the menu item.
6. Find the Expiration or Prepared features under the Date group. Drag and drop onto the label preview window.
7. OPTIONAL: The Canadian format should be selected by default. If not as default, change it by clicking the Label dropdown menu and selecting "BEST BEFORE/MEILLEUR AVANT" for the expiration date or “PACKAGED ON/EMPAQUETE LE" for the prepared date.
