Configuring Alma Access

You configure SpineOMatic to interact with Alma via the Alma Access tab:

...

Use a semicolon to split your prefix between lines. For example, Widener Library+WID-LC Mid East=WID-LC;Mid East will print WID-LC and Mid East on separate lines.

Label prefix configuration is saved to a file called myLabelText.txt, which can be copied for use in other SpineOMatic installations. Alternatively, you can use the Use system file, URL option by renaming myLabelText.txt, to aboveLabel.txt, attaching the file to the wiki, and using the URL of the attachment as the Use system file, URL value.

Consult the SpineOMatic documentation for more information on this and other configuration options.
