To test a single filter
1 On the Add Item Filter or Edit Item Filter page, in
the Test ID box, type an ID in the format you want
to change.
2 Click Test the Barcode. The filtered ID appears in
the Result box.
3 Compare the filtered format to the format you want.
4 To test the filter against other ID formats, repeat
the preceding steps.
The filter in the illustration will add zeroes to any
seven-character ID. To restrict the action to IDs
used by the library, you should also use the
CONTAINS command.
Testing a single filter
To test a list of filters
1 On the Item Filters page, in the Test ID box, type
an ID in the format you want to filter.
2 Click Test the Chain. The filtered ID appears in the
Result box.
3 Compare the filtered ID to the ID format you want.
4 Repeat for each ID format that you want to filter or
to exclude from filtering.
This test compares each test ID to each filter in the
list and applies the first filter that matches. If the
result is unexpected, look for conflicts in the filter
constraints. In the example on the right, the second
and third filters work only with lDs that are other
than 7 characters long, because the first filter is
applied to all IDs of that length.
