Date on shipping labels

From the NHAIS Help Desk mailbox:

Would it be possible to have the “Date:” on the printout reflect the actual day it will go out on the van? I change the shipping date in the request and try to remember to leave a note in the lending library request box, but the shipping date always reflects the current date, not the actual date of the van pick up.

While most of what you see on the shipping labels is drawn from the request record (what you see on the Borrower's or Lender's Full Record Display pages), the date isn't. It's not the Request Date, Due Date, Date Shipped, Need by Date, Date Received, Date Returned, Date Checked In, or Respond by Date--all of which can appear in the request record depending on the request’s status. The date you see on shipping labels simply reflects the day the Format to Print button was used to display and (presumably) print the labels. Changing that to Date Shipped is not an option but you're welcome to write whatever else you want on shipping labels.
