Requests can be printed out either in either a full page format (each record covering an A4 sheet) or in a brief 3-line format.
Requests in full page format are designed to fit on one sheet of A4 paper and include:
request numbers
bibliographic information
rota information with the current rota location in bold (when printed out by the borrower)
delivery addresses
Tip: This format can be used to self-check and identify the appropriate copy. See also how to use reports to output a pick list for shelf checking.
Note on rota locations: If there are 7 or less rota locations, then all are displayed in the full page print format. If there are more than 7, then the current rota location Any site that requests and/or supplies material via VDX. Any site that is registered with a VDX system. is displayed in bold, preceded by the previous 3 locations and followed by the next 3 locations. This will ensure that the request will fit onto one sheet of A4.
