Step 7: Add the THC result

This is what the superpackage was for. The package carries its own lab results, so the label can print them.

  1. Add a Text element.
  2. Set X Start to 5%, X End to 95%.
  3. Set Y Start to 65%, Y End to 73%.
  4. Set Value template to {{ package.metadata.indexedLabResults.totalTHC.full }}.
  5. Set Font to Helvetica-Bold and Font size to 10.

Each label now shows its own potency.

Lab results arrive as a long list with inconsistent naming, so T3 indexes them for you under metadata.indexedLabResults, keyed by a camelCase form of the test name. Total THC becomes totalTHC, Delta 9 THC becomes delta9THC. Use the autocomplete rather than guessing: it lists the keys your loaded data actually has.

Each entry gives you four ways to use it:

  • .full is the ready made string, Total THC: 18.2 %
  • .name is Total THC
  • .value is the number 18.2
  • .unit is %

Use .full when you want the whole thing, and .value when you are building your own formatting, as we do next.
