Using Fields in Business Card Infinity

The purpose of predefined fields is to allow you to design labels and cards by using fields that represent a type of text rather than specific text data. This saves a lot of work when using one particular template or design for multiple uses. For example, it's much easier to enter [DisplayName] and [BusinessAddress] once and let a Data Source fill in the details when you print than to type a specific person's name and address for each different label that you want to print. By adding one of the Field Names to your design you are simply adding a place holder that will be automatically replaced rather than typing in specific text that would need to be manually changed each time you changed the contents of a label or card.
