Setting this option allows for the rare cases (usually as a result of importing several generations of library catalogue) where older barcodes have a long format but which need to be modified to a shorter standard format now adopted by the library (e.g. [000101] strips to [101], then may be re-buffered to [0101] if the new standard barcode length is 4). |
- | * **Minimum Barcode Length** - | + | * **Minimum Barcode Length** - This option states what the minimum barcode length should be when scanning / typing barcodes. If a barcode smaller than this minimum is entered, Mystic will buffer the barcode to the minimum length before performing creations, searches etc. |
- | * **Allow Attachments** - | + | * **Allow Attachments** - States whether Mystic should allow attachments to Catalogue Items. |
