Label Customization

Custom label reports contain loose representation of an actual label in height and width; these are not meant to be an exact—just enough to get a rough feel for how they are laid out. Each field in the template can be customized using the options on the right. Formatting options can vary based on the type of data you've chosen to display in that field. For example, a barcode image cannot be bold.

When you're finished customizing your labels, click Create Saved Report so it's ready the next time you need it. Remember to give it a descriptive title so you know exactly what the labels are formatted for.

Example

In Legacy reports, you could choose a format that would automatically customize your labels. In new label reports, you get to do the customizing. Here's an example of how the new labels can be formatted to match the old Legacy formats using the same information.

Legacy Format	Information	Copy Barcode Labels (Legacy)	Copy Labels (3x10)
Standard	Call Number Barcode Image Barcode Number Title
Standard with Author	Call Number Barcode Image Barcode Number Author
2 Line Custom Text	Call Number Custom Text Custom Text Barcode Image (small) Barcode Number Title
Smart Labels	Call Number Title Barcode Image Barcode Number Author

These items are unavailable to patrons. You may want to archive copies that are kept in a special room and not generally available for circulation.
