Footprint labels not visible after classifying runs
Last updated: Nov 01, 2026
Problem
After successfully classifying runs in CatWalk XT, no written paw labels (LF, RF, LH, RH) appear on the footprints in the print view, even though prints are present.
Details
This is a display setting issue rather than a classification or detection problem. Affects all CatWalk XT versions. Labels are present in the data but have been toggled off in the view.
Solution
1. Navigate to **Acquire > Classify Runs** to open the classify runs view.
2. Inside the print/paw view panel, **right-click** anywhere within the view.
3. In the context menu that appears, locate the **'Show Labels'** option and ensure it is **checked/enabled**.
4. Labels should immediately appear on all classified footprints.
5. If 'Show Labels' was already checked and labels are still missing, verify that classification was actually completed (the run status should show as classified, not unclassified).
