Step 7.3 – View the exported lists on the DLA or other equipment

The final check of an export format requires that you view the exported information on the 3M equipment where the lists will be displayed.

1Insert the memory card into the DLA (or other equipment).

2Make sure that primary, secondary and location (if used) information is displayed correctly. If location information is used, it typically is displayed near its corresponding primary and secondary information.

For lists used by the DLA:

Perform the Sort & Shelve or Collect Data function on the DLA to display your shelf- order export format.

See the Data Format Guide for detailed information on display planning.

3If necessary, edit the export format to make the information displayed more usable.

You may want to insert field labels, additional spaces, and/or other information that may help the user.

If primary, secondary or location (if used) information, e.g., call number, date, etc. is not displayed correctly, check the field- start position and field-lengthparameters defined in your export format.

Figure 17: Make sure that primary and secondary information is displayed correctly.

Figure 18: Export formats for some tasks (such as weeding) may include “field labels” and additional information not found in shelf-order lists.
