3M 747 setup guide Set up Duplicate Item Definitions optional, Matching Primary Information Fields

Step 6.2 – Set up Duplicate Item Definitions (optional)

Duplicate item checking is helpful if your library has groups of items (each item with a unique barcode) that are shelved together, and the shelf order within the group is not important (for example, multiple copies of the same book).

Duplicate item checking is used with shelf-order lists only.

1From the Admin Setup menu, click Duplicate Item Definition.

The Duplicate Item Definition dialog box appears.

2Click the Enable duplicate item checking based on checkbox to enable or disable duplicate item checking.

Duplicate item checking enabled (checked ) When checking shelf order with the DLA, groups of consecutive items (that meet the specified match criteria) can be shelved together in any order.

Duplicate item checking not enabled (not checked ) When checking shelf order with the DLA, each item will have its own distinct shelf position.

3Select the Match Criteria for shelf-order lists.

Matching Primary Information Fields

Any consecutive records in the shelf-order list that have identical information in their primary information fields will be exported with the same shelf position.

Matching Secondary Information Fields

Any consecutive records in the shelf-order list that have identical information in their secondary information fields will be exported with the same shelf position.

Matching Primary and matching Secondary Fields Any consecutive records in the shelf-order list that have identical information in both primary and secondary information fields will be exported with the same shelf position.
