1. Predefined View

There is a predefined view called "New Items, Added Today", which displays only the items that were added today. Views refer to saved advanced search definitions.

To access this view, click on the View box (1) and select "New Items, Added Today". This predefined view is defined in the Advanced Search with the condition
DATE_ADDED = CURRENT_DATE.
Once you select the view, it will process and display only the records that meet this search criterion (3).

Next, click on the Labels option and choose a predefined label report (2). Please note that all predefined reports only use the records currently displayed in the table.

2. Advanced Search, Query Samples

Items entered in the last 2 days. Copy and paste this value into the Search Condition box (1).
DATE_ADDED>=CURRENT_DATE-2

Items entered in the last 7 days. Copy and paste this value into the Search Condition box.
DATE_ADDED>=CURRENT_DATE-7

Reprint labels for all books by a selected author (David Almond). Copy and paste this value into the Search Condition box.
UPPER(AUTHOR)='DAVID ALMOND'

3. Use Copy ID Value:

To include ID on the grid, right-click on the grid header line and choose Add/Remove Fields (1).

Handy Library Manager generates a distinct ID for each new library item, increasing by 1 with each addition. Sorting library items by ID will display them in the order they were entered, with the most recent items appearing at the end of the list.

Select the ID data field from the Select Grid Fields box (1).

Click on the ID header to sort by this column (1).

After scrolling to the end of the table (2), verify the values of the ID column.

Define the query for the ID search (3).

Execute the search and display the newly added records (1).

Click on the Labels and select a predefined label report (2).

Review the label report and print barcode labels.

4. Print From Current

If you have sorted your records by the ID data field (1), then the entry order is based on that.

In this case, you can use the Print From Current option. Just scroll down to the bottom of the table and select the Start From record.

Select the Print From Current option (1). It's important to note that the Quick Preview (2) section provides information about the label report layout. To check which records are included in the report, simply click on Preview Labels (3).

Question:
I was able to print my book barcode labels. Thanks again for that. I added a few new books this morning and was wondering how do I print those labels without reprinting the previous ones from yesterday?

Answer:
You can select recently added books using the record entry date or the copy ID number. The search functions as a filter, displaying only a specific group of records. For the displayed group, you can print labels.

Question:
It took a while to get our labels from Amazon. We entered almost 1000 books by the time they came. By the way, the ISBN automation and mapping work great and save a LOT of time.

Now I have the labels but I do not want to print 1000 at a time. I also need them in author order in order to more easily go back and apply them.

Is there a way to select a number of records (lets say 60) in author order and then print labels? Then I would choose the next 60 and so on. Can it be done that way?

Answer:
There are several ways to print labels. First, you can print labels directly from the library's main window. Begin by defining the order of the records, as this will determine the sequence of your label report. Next, use the advanced search feature to restrict the number of displayed records. This will also reduce the number of labels printed. You can filter the search using ID or BARCODE data fields. Another option is to print all labels into a PDF file. You can then open this file in a PDF reader, specify the page range you want, and proceed to print from there.
