Frequently asked questions

1. What may have caused my menu to print improperly?
   If your menu appears distorted or "funky", it may be due to selecting Insert Data Field when selecting your menu elements. This action disrupts the grouping of the menu and can cause unexpected formatting issues. To prevent this from happening, avoid the use of "Insert Data Field" when selecting elements for your menu. Always type the element name you wish to see in curly brackets in the Raw value box on the Formatting tab.
2. Why isn't the template name in my drop down list when trying to print?
   If you don't see the template name in your drop-down list, it's possible that multi-store users have had their access restricted by their organization based on their store's cost zone. Additionally, specific templates don't appear in the dropdown list unless they are configured with the Catalog or Label template type.
   Consult with your organization's support team to ensure that the template is available in your zone, and refer to the Template List (Settings > Advanced > Template Manager) to verify the Template Type is set to Catalog or Label Template. Management of shared templates in multi-store environments is handled from the organization's Primary environment. If you are a store within a multi-store organization utilizing shared templates and need to review the template settings, reach out to your organization's support department or an authorized individual with access to the Primary environment.
