Introduction

In Empress, it’s easy to customize your print format to suit your unique business needs. Sometimes, you may find your item descriptions are too crowded or unnecessary on your printed documents, and you’d like to remove them. However, you might notice that when you remove the item description, the Item Code and Name disappear as well. Don’t worry, this guide will walk you through how to remove only the Item Description without losing your Item Code and Name.

Understanding the Issue

This issue typically arises when you have the Compact Item Print feature enabled in your Print Settings. When this is activated, all item details, including the Item Code, Name, and Description, are bundled together. Therefore, when you try to remove the Description, you risk removing the entire bundle.

  1. Go to your Empress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Settings section.
  3. Look for Print Settings.
  4. Find the Compact Item Print option and disable it.

Disabling this feature ensures that your Item Code and Name remain intact, even when you remove the Description.

Removing the Description

Now that you’ve disabled Compact Item Print, you can safely remove the Description from your printed documents. Here’s how you do this:

  1. Return to the Empress dashboard.
  2. Navigate to the Settings section.
  3. Click on Print Format Builder.
  4. From there, locate the Description checkbox and uncheck it.

By following these steps, you can successfully remove the Description from your print format without losing your Item Code and Name. This will allow you to use your print space more efficiently, keeping your documents clear and concise.
