BarTender Software Professional Version - Key Features

Please note that BarTender’s Professional Edition includes all of the features available in the Starter Edition. As it is an upgrade to the BarTender Starter Edition, the BarTender Professional Edition comes with several cutting-edge features that set it apart from its predecessor.

Here are some of the key features of BarTender software Professional Edition.

Unlimited Printer Licenses

The Professional Edition of the BarTender software allows businesses to use an unlimited number of printers simultaneously for their labelling tasks.

Administration Console

Assists in the management and configuration of BarTender administration and system settings.

The software directly records a revision trial in the document, enabling users to identify any changes made, when they were saved, who saved them, and other essential tracking details.

Full-Colour Support

BarTender software Professional Edition comes with full-colour support allowing users to design commercial quality labels with PANTONE and data-sources colours. This advanced feature helps organisations stand out from the competition and adds a professional look and feel to their barcode labels.

Intelligent Templates

BarTender’s Professional Edition takes label management, design and printing experience to a whole new level. The software comes with a unique feature called Intelligent Templates.

Intelligent Templates provide users with various dynamic design techniques, allowing users to create multiple label designs from a single template in just a few clicks. This feature eliminates the manual label creation process and the hassle of managing hundreds of separate documents.

Intelligent Templates come with the following techniques.

The Professional Edition also allows users to embed database tables in BarTender document designs, making retrieving data and updating label designs faster and easier.

Enhanced Database Connectivity

BarTender Professional Edition comes with the capability to link barcode label designs with external database sources effortlessly.

By linking the software with an external database, users can easily access data fields from the connected source and include them in their label designs without manually typing the data.

The Professional Edition can create serial numbers that support alphanumeric, hexadecimal, and custom sequencing patterns. The label printing software automatically increases (increment) or decreases (decrement) the data source value whenever a document or barcode label is printed. 

Custom Database Creation

BarTender Professional Edition gives businesses an opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind database with integrated features to store and access data in a way that works best for them. The software is packed with intuitive tools that help build a custom database from scratch without relying on third-party applications and coding knowledge.

Enhanced Configurable Data Entry Forms

BarTender’s Professional Edition 2022 software enables organisations to create and utilise data entry forms for their labelling needs. This feature offers a powerful set of tools to capture data quickly and accurately while streamlining the labelling process.

Data entry forms provide users with 15 highly configurable form controls, such as text boxes, drop-down menus, and checkboxes, allowing them to design dynamic forms. Data entry forms come with built-in data validation and error-checking capabilities that help reduce user input errors.

In addition, data entry forms support keyboards & mouse, barcode scanners, and weighing scales as input devices for data entry at the time of printing. This feature is especially useful for businesses that require automated and accurate data entry to meet industry regulations and standards.

Document and Printing Password

The Professional Edition of BarTender 2022 software provides organisations with the ability to lock documents and barcode label designs from being viewed, modified or printed. The software allows administrators to set passwords to protect the projects and barcode label designs, eliminating the risk of unauthorised access or printing by outsiders.
