Ability to Directly Open Print Item Labels Interface

[Jennifer Pringle]

Evergreen 3.11.1

Currently there is no way to directly open the Print Item Labels interface. This is an issue when you're just looking to create or adjust the templates.

Ideally you should be able to access the Print Item Labels interface from the local admin menu (which is where the Holdings Template Editor can be found) or the cataloguing menu (depending on whether it's just the template or you scan/load barcodes see https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/2045315).

To get to the Print Item Labels interface now:

Option 1
1. Go to Cataloguing -> Item Status
2. Scan an item barcode
3. Select your barcode
4. From the Actions menu choose Show -> Print Labels
5. Print Item Labels will open

Option 2
1. Go to Cataloguing -> Search the Catalogue
2. Search for a title and open the record
3. In Holdings View select your item
4. From the Actions menu choose Print Labels
5. Print Item Labels will open

Option 3
1. Go to Cataloguing -> Search the Catalogue
2. Search for a title and open the record
3. Click Add Holdings
4. Add your holding
5. Check the box for Print Labels at the bottom of the unified editor (or bottom of the Item Attributes tab).
6. Click Apply All, Save & Exit
7. Print Item Labels will open

In order to preview the print template changes some data needs to exist. Perhaps if it is opened this way then it could populate with sample data like we have in the receipt templates.

It would also be nice to be able to add a barcode from this interface, or even upload a list of barcodes, but that could be a separate wish list.

It would be great to have it load some sample data, but not necessary. You don't need a preview to import and export templates.
