SECTION 2

Overview This section contains descriptions of the Label Library Merger interface, including information on all dialog boxes and commands. The Label Library Merger commands are available from the toolbar and from menus. The Label Library Merger dialog box contains three label description library views. The two views on the left display the contents of the source libraries, and the view on the right displays the contents of the destination library. Each library view is divided into two columns, Number and Description, which display the appropriate data for each label. You can click a heading in any library view to sort the labels by that heading. The bottom pane of the Label Library Merger dialog box is the message window, which displays errors and other informational messages during the library merge workflow.

File Menu The commands on the File menu allow you to open libraries, display information in the Message Window, and exit the Label Library Merger.

Open Source Label Library 1 This command opens a label description library from which to copy labels. You can key in or browse to the location of a source library. The system displays the label number and description in the Library 1 View.

Open Source Label Library 2 This command opens a second label description library from which to copy labels. Using a second source library is optional, and not required for the use of this command. The system displays the label number and description in the Library 2 View.

Open Destination Library This command opens a new or existing destination library, where labels from the source libraries are copied. The system displays the copied label numbers and descriptions in the Destination Library View. To create a new destination library, browse to the appropriate folder in the Open Destination Library dialog box, type a new library name in the File name text box, and click Open. The system will then create the new label description library in the specified location.

Overview

Edit Label Number This command allows users to modify the label number of the selected label in the Destination Library View.

Edit Label Description This command allows users to modify the label description of the selected label in the Destination Library View.

Delete This command removes the selected labels from the destination library.

Validate This command checks the labels in the destination library for valid label numbers, and reports any invalid label numbers in the Message Window.

Compress Destination Library This command removes the deleted labels from the destination library.

Copy to Destination This command copies the selected labels from the source libraries to the destination library. The system uses the following criteria to determine label numbers:  If there is no label in the destination library with the same label number as the label being copied, the label is copied with its original label number.  If there is a label in the destination library with the same label number as the label being copied, the label is copied with a new label number, which is assigned using the following criteria:  If there is an unassigned label number in the copied label's category in the destination library, the system assigns the next available label number in that category.  If there is no unassigned label number in the copied label's category in the destination library, the system adds 5000 to the label number and copies the label. For example, label number 23 in the source library is copied to label 5023 in the destination library. Label numbers above 5000 generate errors in PDS. The Validate command reports any such label numbers in the Message Window. Refer to Label Description Library for more information on label categories.

Clear Error Messages This command refreshes the Message Window.
