When the CSU migrated to Alma and started CSU+ there was no Printouts Queue and all printing needed to be sent to the printer through an email letter. Complications with this workflow led to the creation of CleanSlips by Jeremy Hobbs who worked at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo at the time. To use CleanSlips, CSU staff downloaded an Excel file from Alma with the necessary data and uploaded the file to the CleanSlips program or website. CleanSlips would then generate the Pull Slip/Book Band or Sticker labels. Recent updates to Alma has made the ability to print these slips in the Printouts Queue using Alma Letters. This workflow reduces the amount of steps needed for printing and adds scannable barcodes for Rapido workflows. Before setting up the Alma Letters you might want to set up the Printouts Queue.

After creating a backup replace the existing code with either the Pull Slip/Book Band XML or the Sticker XML.
