If enabled, the following options are available.

–

Use Label Template Profiles—If selected, the wizard will use the label template assigned for this library/item type combination found in the Label Template Profiles Map policies. This property applies to both the Automatically and Print Preview properties. You cannot select this property if the Prompt for Label Template property is also selected.

Note: If you modify a Tab Display Preference and it conflicts with another property, the wizard will display the message “Tab Display Property Conflict.” When you click OK in the dialog box, the conflict-causing selection will be removed, and you can resolve the conflict.

For example, if you select the MARC Holdings tab to display first, but you did not select to Maintain MARC holdings or did not select the Show MARC holdings property in Item Search and Display, the property conflict message will display. You can then select the MARC holding properties, and select the MARC Holdings tab to display first.
