Box Status Labels Table

Checkin card boxes have codes indicating the status of the issue. These codes, in turn, have system labels. For example, the code 'A' has the system label "ARRIVED". The system uses the labels to display the status of issues in the checkin card boxes. Using the Box Status Labels table, you can create and edit "local" labels that are specific to your library. The local labels, if they exist, are used instead of the system labels to display the status of issues.

For example, you can:

• display a local label such as "ON SHELF" for boxes with a status code of 'A' (ARRIVED)
• display a local label such as AT BINDERY for boxes with a status code of 'T' (TO BIND)

You can access the Box Status Labels table via the following menu path:

Admin | Parameters | Serials | Box Status Labels
