BarTender Cloud Designer
Quickly Create and Print Any Label
Label Design in the Cloud
Cloud-Enabled Version of the Industry-Best Designer
It’s official, the new BarTender Cloud Designer is available. This makes Seagull Scientific the first labeling, marking and coding solution to offer a cloud-based label designer. With an easy-to-user design interface and integrated wizard-driven tools, users can quickly create and print any label with no design experience. It also allows thousands of BarTender label designers around the world to leverage their existing label design skills available with any BarTender Cloud account plan at no additional charge.
Combined with BarTender Cloud, which allows label printing from the cloud, Seagull Scientific now offers an end-to-end cloud-based labeling solution, eliminating the need for on-premise hardware and software, and significantly reducing IT support resources.

Features Unique to the BarTender Cloud Designer
Several features are unique to BarTender Cloud Designer or differ in function from features present in on-premise BarTender Designer. These features may change or be removed at any point during the preview:
  • • The pull-down menus present at the top of the screen have been removed (File, View, Administer, Tools, Help).
  • • While the normal Help pull-down menu is gone, you can still access the online Help tool by pressing F1 or clicking the Help button in any dialog or property page on which a Help button appears.
  • • Your document will be auto-saved every few seconds.
  • • You can connect to a database using the database icon at the top of the screen, but the only options available are the connectors already available in BarTender Cloud.
  • • BarTender Document Options can be accessed from a new icon on the toolbar, instead of through File > BarTender Document Options.
  • BarTender Cloud Designer will timeout and log you out of your Designer session after 15 minutes of idleness.
Copying and Pasting Within the BarTender Cloud Designer
The ability to copy and paste within the BarTender Cloud Designer is unavailable when using Firefox, as Firefox does not support clipboard copy/paste operations. You must use another browser such as Edge or Chrome instead.
When using the BarTender Cloud Designer you will occasionally need to use the clipboard to copy and paste, most commonly when creating an Embedded Text Database. When you attempt this for the first time, a pop-up will appear that will request permission for BarTender Cloud to see text and images copied to the clipboard within your browser.
Click Allow to grant BarTender Cloud the appropriate permission. Once you've done this, you will not need to do so again and you can copy and paste normally.
Limitations of the BarTender Cloud Designer
The following features are unavailable or unsupported during the BarTender Cloud Designer preview. This list may change at any time without warning:
  • • The enumeration or selection of printers within the BarTender Cloud Designer. Clicking Print will take you to the normal Print Console within BarTender Cloud.
  • • The enumeration of Librarian spaces and files using File Browser
  • • The design and printing of:
    • • External pictures/images (e.g. data sources, background images, exporting)
    • • External database files (e.g. csv, txt, xlst)
    • • REST API Gateway printing for actions and BTXML for printing
  • • Form and Document-level actions
  • • The ability to view Object, Data Source, Database Field Names, and Barcode Quiet zone names on the label
