Print Templates

Customize Receipt Templates
Receipt Content Reference

Most of the receipts that print from the Evergreen staff client software are managed via the Print Template Editor (Administration → Workstation → Print Templates) and can be customized on an individual workstation basis. Typically, library systems will set up the receipts the way they want them to print out on one workstation at a branch, then export the settings as a file and import that file to each of the other workstations at that branch.

If Hatch is installed receipts can be forced to use specific printer settings. Printer Settings can be set at Administration → Workstation → Printer Settings.

This is a complete list of the receipts currently in use in Evergreen.

List of Receipts

Customize Receipt Templates

  1. In Evergreen, go to Administration → Workstation → Print Templates.

  2. Select the Template Name of the receipt you wish to customize.

  3. If Hatch is enabled, you can choose different printers for different receipts with the Force Printer Context field. Otherwise, disregard this field.
  4. Make changes to the code in the Template editor field on right. Examples of code and formatting are below.

  5. Click Save Locally.

Formatting

The print templates follow W3C HTML standards http://w3schools.com/html/default.asp.

Print templates use variables for various pieces of information coming from the Evergreen database. These variables deal with everything from the library name to the due date of an item. Information from the database is entered in the templates with curly brackets. Different types of print templates have access to different pieces of information. Example: {{checkout.title}}

Some print templates have sections that are repeated for each item in a list. For example, the portion of the Checkout print template below repeats every item that is checked out in HTML list format by means of the ng-repeat in the li tag.

<ol>
<li ng-repeat="checkout in circulations">
<b>{{checkout.title}}</b><br/>
Barcode: {{checkout.copy.barcode}}<br/>
Due: {{checkout.circ.due_date | date:"short"}}<br/>
</li>
</ol>

Conditional Formatting

You can use Angular JS to only print a line if the data matches. For example:

`$$<div ng-if="hold.email_notify == 't'">Notify by email: {{patron.email}}</div>$$`

This will only print the “Notify by email:” line if email notification is enabled for that hold.

See also: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngIf

Substrings

To print just a substring of a variable, you can use a limitTo function: {{variable | limitTo:limit}} where limit is the number of characters you want.

Images

You can use HTML and CSS to add an image to your print template if you have the image uploaded onto a publicly available web server. The logo image from your Evergreen public catalogue can be used for this.

<img src="https://LIBRARYCODE.PROVINCE.catalogue.libraries.coop/eg/opac/images/small_logo.png" style="width:150px;padding:5px;">

Sort Order

You can sort the items in an ng-repeat block using orderBy. For example, the following will sort a list of holds by the shelving location first, then by the call number:

`$$<tr ng-repeat="hold_data in holds | orderBy : ['copy.location.name','volume.label']">$$`

Reset Print Templates to Default

Click Reset to Default.

Export / Import Customized Templates

To quickly set up all workstations in a branch in the same way, set up one workstation’s receipt templates completely, then use the “Export Customized Templates” function to save an external file of templates that you can import into other workstations. Just remember to 'Save Locally' once you import the receipts on the new machine.

Export Customized Templates

  1. Click Export Customized Templates.
  2. The file will open in your default text editor, select the location to save the file to, name the file, and click Save.
  3. Click OK.

Import Customized Templates

  1. Click Import.
  2. Navigate to and select the file that you want to import. Click Open.
  3. A message displays advising file imported.
  4. Click Save Locally.
