[Wactclc-alma] Adding a barcode to resource requests slips in Alma

[Stephanie Levesen]

Hi,

During implementation, we removed the barcode image from our letters in Alma since we didn't want to waste a lot of ink in printing barcodes.

However, since we've been using Alma, it has come up a few times where having the barcode on the resource request slip would have been useful in pulling items for holds.

I've been looking in the documentation, and in "Configuring Alma Letters" document, in the table that lists the letter types, for the information about the letter "ful resource request slip letter" it says that you can include a printable barcode image on this letter.

However, we don't want the barcode image, we just want the barcode numbers to show up as a field.

Using the XML, how would you customize it to include the barcode number on the resource request slip rather than the barcode image?  Is this even possible, or is the only option to put in the barcode image?

If you can only have the barcode image, is it possible to create a smaller version of the barcode image rather than a large image?

Thanks for your help with this.
