- | This help file has not yet being released. | + | {{ :pergamonmystic:linkedhelp:mystichelp_lookup_0004.jpg?200|}} The additional fields for the HID (Human readable ID) Formats categories are presented for both Reader HID (reader barcodes) and Item HID (item accession numbers) categories. |
- | The Mystic Help Files are being re-written for the release of **Mystic v1.5, during the summer of 2021**. | + | The additional fields presented for these category types include: |
- | For now, please use the Pergamon Help files by clicking the **Pergamon Wiki** Icon at the top of this page, or **Pergamon Wiki Home** below. | + | * **Format** - the format fields include **Prefix**, **Body** and **Suffix** values and should be populated with a template of how the barcode should appear. For a conventional six digit barcode for example, the prefix and suffix should be left empty while '000000' should be placed into the body field with each zero representing a number placeholder. The most common use of the affix fields is to provide some barcodes with a coded prefix based upon location, type etc. Entering [EDU-][000000][] for example results in barcodes such as EDU-000001, EDU-000002 etc. |
+ | |||
+ | * **Scanner Removal** - some scanner devices are shipped with a configuration that adds affixes to the barcode as positioned on books, ID cards etc. One of the most common of this affixes is to prefix the barcode with the tilde (~) character. Enter known characters in the prefix and suffix field that you wish Mystic to remove from a scanned barcode prior to use within the application. | ||

+ | Note that the formats defined in this category are used in the auto-generation of barcodes within the Reader Manager and Item Manager dialogs. It is therefore advised to add at the very least a default item in both the Reader HID and Item HID categories. | ||
