[Koha] Printing label: "ordered by" drop down in version 3.1

[Alison C Graber]

Hi Chris,

 

I was wondering if that was the problem.   Thanks for the quick advice.  

 

We have been producing label batches from the Managed Staged Marc Record page which does produce a list in bar code order.  The problem is that our link to manage label batches no longer works (koha express hosted by Liblime) so we have come up with a work around.  I will share that here just in case anyone else runs into this problem.  Here is Craig’s solution:

 

I created a pdf of labels using the old (non-ordered) method and looked closely at the url for that newly created batch.

http://ke0017-staff.kohaexpress.com/cgi-bin/koha/labels/label-manager.pl?op=add <http://ke0017-staff.kohaexpress.com/cgi-bin/koha/labels/label-manager.pl?op=add&batch_id=36> &batch_id=36

 

I changed the last part of the url to correspond to the batch id # (created via the ordered method)I wanted to print. This listed all the items in the batch and allowed me to generated labels.

 

This method seems to by-pass the faulty "manage label batches" url.

 

Thanks for all of the support.

 

Alison

Hi Everyone,

I am confused by an issue in printing barcode labels using the tools
function in Koha.  I am using the Koha version hosted by LibLime so it is
probably 3.1 or similar.  They no longer list the specific version.

Anyway I want to print barcode labels in order by the item call number.  I
found the following information in the manuals that state:

Under Creating a New Batch there is a tip that states:

order your results using the "ordered by" dropdown menu.  Options are title,
author, dewey, publication year, itemtype, item call number.


I think you are confusing the order by option in the labels search results with the ability to set the order in which the labels are printed. At present the order in which labels are printed is determined by the order in which they are entered into the batch. There is no quick and easy way to reorder the printing of them. However, you could open an enhancement request at bugs.koha-community.org for such a feature.

Kind Regards,
Chris
