Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Macros

Thanks, Holly. I definitely understand that; our local branches' receipts are set up that way. The issue that we have is that the receipts for the selfcheck do not pull a local library's receipt templates. Instead, the selfcheck uses receipt templates common to the entire consortium. Thus, since we only have one template to work with, we want it to be able to pull information on the individual branches. Aaron, it sounds like the solution with the headers might work. I'll look into it. Thanks! Cheers!

It’s a little work, but only has to be done once. And since you have to copy the customized templates to each workstation regardless, there’s not much difference in typing/coping a line of macros vs. typing the library name manually.   Hope that helps. And thanks for the list, Lynn!   -Holly   From: open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org [mailto:open-ils-general-boun...@list.georgialibraries.org] On Behalf Of Buzzy Nielsen Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 2:36 PM To: open-ils-general@list.georgialibraries.org Subject: Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Macros   Thanks, Lynn. This is great.
