Setting Up Labels

You set label profiles for Cataloging and Serials labels on the Staff Client tab in Polaris Administration, and you configure, customize, and edit labels using the Label Manager. The Label Manager is available from the Polaris Shortcut Bar under Utilities and from Polaris Administration.

Note:
The permissions Label Manager Configuration: Create, Modify, and Delete apply to label type and label content. For example, if you have the Create permission, you can create both label types and label content.

Recommendations for Label Types and Content

The available label types are associated with the branch where you are logged on. Make sure the content types and label types are available at the workstation from which you are printing the labels. If your library system does centralized processing, set the label types and content at the system level, and make sure all your branches are using the same label types and content. If your branch does its own processing, make sure the content type and the label type you need are both available at the workstation from which you print the labels.

When you set up custom labels, use the default label types for guidelines on the label and page sizes. Although you can change the page and label size to any value greater than 0, deviating too far from the standard sizes may produce labels with incomplete text. Use Print Preview to check your custom labels.
