Define batch label queues

This option specifies the fixed-length field and values that Sierra uses when assigning an item record to a label queue. When you select Define batch label queues, the system displays the current values associated with each label queue, and the fields you can use to define new label queues.

In the example above, the Current Value line indicates that the MAT TYPE field in an item's associated bibliographic record determines the label queue to which the item is assigned: MAT TYPEs '-', 'i' and 'j' are written to first queue, MAT TYPEs 'a' and 'b' are associated with the second queue, etc. The example also includes a list of the one-character item or bibliographic fixed-length fields (e.g., STATUS, MAT TYPE) that you can use to define label queues.

To define label queues, select a fixed-length field by entering its line number. If the selected field is currently used to define label queues, Sierra displays the field values associated with each queue.
