Volume Attributes

You can use the attributes to describe the details of a volume. Required information is indicated by an asterisk (*).

Attribute Description
Automatically Create Volume Tables of Contents Controls whether TOCs are created automatically and assigned to each volume. Choose Yes or No. Default is No.
Note: When automatically creating the table of contents for volumes using Prepare to Publish or Volumize, Calyx RIM may misname the table of contents. An incorrectly generated table of contents results if the $TITLE variable is used in the header or left column entry text. If file bookmarks are used in volumes with automatically generated tables of contents, a bookmark for the table contents is named New TOC. The bookmarks do not affect the printed output. To work around this issue: set Automatically Create Volume Tables of Contents to No on the Volumes page in Publishing Settings. After volumizing, create tables of contents on the newly created volumes by right-clicking on any element in the tree and selecting Mass Insert/Update Publishing Elements, selecting Table of Contents in the drop-down, and then selecting Volumes, and set Use Default for the type. You can also create tables of contents for individual volumes by selecting This Element Only.
Begin at Volume Number* Specify the number where you want your volume to begin. Must be a number greater than 0. Default is 1.
Buffer Size (in MB)* Defines the additional buffer size allowed in a volume when running volumize by size. Must be a number, 10 or greater. Default is 10.
Total Sheets/Pages* Specify the total number of sheets or pages that make up your volume when running volumize by number of pages. Must be a number greater than 0. Default is 300.
Total Sheets/Pages Buffer* The number of sheets or pages, plus or minus, that Calyx RIM uses to calculate logical volume breaks during bulk volume creation when running volumize by number of pages. The Total Sheets/Pages Buffer setting should always be less than the Total Sheets/Pages setting. Must be a number. Default is 50.
Total Size (in MB)* Defines the maximum size of the volume when running volumize by size. Must be a number greater than 50. Default is 100.
Volume File Naming Format* The default volume naming format that applies to all the volumes in your submission. This is set by default to $VOLNAME, which is a volume-naming variable included with every Calyx RIM installation. This attribute can be set only to a specific variable name, and it cannot contain additional text or variables. If different variable attributes are needed: changes should be made to the $VOLNAME variable in data administration, or you should use a new user-defined variable instead. (Limit 150 bytes)
Volume Numbering The volume number scheme. Choose Assembly Relative or Major Division. Default is Assembly Relative.
Volumize by Size* Determines if the volumization will be done by the number of pages in the volume or by the estimated size of the volume. Choose Yes or No. Default is No.

For Volumize by Size, using the No option causes Volumize by Page to be enforced when the right-click menu option Volumize is invoked in the assembly. Volumize by Page provides faster performance than Volumize by Size.
