Create a customized LHR script

Discover how to create, save, and edit a customized LHR script for your library's bulk edit workflows.

You can customize an existing base script and save it to be used when you need it. This allows you to bypass selecting the settings (field, subfield, etc.) for the script each time you want to apply it.

Customized scripts are not user specific. You can create up to 250 customized scripts for your library's bulk edit users to view and apply. When a customized script is no longer needed, you can archive it.

 Note: Base scripts that are inactive, archived, or contain a barcode reference list are not available for creating a customized script.
