Question:
Why don't I have access to label templates?

Answer:
Access to label templates depends on the current view mode of the Library Catalog. If you are in Items View Mode (with "Display Each Copy" unchecked), only main item data fields are available, and copy-specific label templates may be hidden. Switch to Copy View Mode (by checking "Display Each Copy") to access all predefined label templates, including those that use copy-specific fields.

Question:
How can I define a new spine label if the print label window does not include certain data fields?

Answer:
If the desired data fields are missing in the print label window, first ensure you are in Copy View Mode, as this mode provides access to all data fields - including copy-specific ones like barcode and call number.

Question:
How can I create a report of library items that includes the book barcode value if the barcode field is not listed in the selection box?

Answer:
To include the barcode in your report, make sure you are using Copy View Mode. In Items View Mode, only main item fields are available, and barcode is a copy-specific field.

Question:
Why can't I find the call number field when generating labels or reports?

Answer:
The call number is a copy-specific data field. If you are working in Items View Mode, it will not appear. Switch to Copy View Mode to enable access to all data fields, including call number, when generating labels or reports.

Question:
Is it possible to customize label templates to include additional data fields?

Answer:
Yes, our library management systems allow customization of label templates.
