Call number format #55

Closed BVGer-Bibliothek closed 2 years ago

Hi, We are currently testing SpineOMatic in our library and we are having some trouble with the formatting. Our call numbers have 5 elements and each element is separated by a space (for exemple CA/CE 84 b MUKE 2020 or A 8 g DIBI 2018 or D 18.2 b FROW 2009). On our labels, we have breaks after each element, except between the second and third element, which should remain on the same line (cf. attached image). Is it possible to configure this? Also, the text should be centred instead of left-aligned - is this possible? Thanks in advance for your help!

@BVGer-Bibliothek, if how you want the call number to print is not one of the ways Alma parses the call number, you may be able to get what you need by tweaking the call number parsing options. First, select "SpineOMatic parsing" on the "Call Number Format" tab rather than "Ex Libris parsing". Then specify "" as the source (if not specified by default). Click the "Tweak & Test" link. Explore the options on that panel for the call number type you are using. You can test the parsing using the "Test parsing" box in the lower portion of the display. Good luck!

As for centering instead of left-aligned, that is not supported.
