Serial Claims Data Library
The serial claims data library defines the elements you can use to create custom serial claim print templates. These templates are created in a third-party application (such as Jaspersoft Studio) for use when printing serial claims. See Creating Customized Print Templates for more information.

1If you use the TitleDescription element, avoid using these elements to prevent duplicate information from printing on the serial claim letter. When you use the TitleDescription element, the system uses the settings in the Fields to print on Serials Issue Claim form Serials Option (specifically, the elements specified in the 1 > Top section of single claim or Title/Descrip of multi-title claim section of this option) to determine what data prints for each line item.
2The ClaimDate and ClaimDateDisplay elements use the same information. Innovative strongly recommends using the ClaimDateDisplay element, which automatically formats the date correctly using your library's date format.
