Specifying the Enumeration
You can specify enumeration for a prediction pattern.
To specify the enumeration

Click Page Down or resize the window to display this group in the Edit Serials Prediction Table window: |

Complete or update these fields: |
|
•
|
Enum. Group and Level. Enter the enumeration group and the level of that group that you want to add or edit. (For a more complete explanation about enumeration groups and levels, see About Prediction.) |
|
•
|
Label. Enter the label that you want Horizon to display for the level. (For example, the volume might have the label “V.” The number level might have the label “N.” A level that displays pages might have the label, “pp.”) |
|
•
|
Postfix. Mark this box to specify that the label appears after the number or letter of the given level. If you leave the Postfix box unmarked, Horizon displays the label followed by the number or character of the level. |
|
•
|
No. Units/Level. Enter how many uniquely numbered units are published for each level. |
Note: A title published once a month each year would have 12 uniquely numbered issues, each comprising a single volume. While you receive 12 issues per volume, the volume itself remains a single entity; its number does not change until the next year. Therefore, you would not need to enter any value in the No. Units/Level field for the volume level, since the volume itself remains a single volume each year. However, the issue level contains 12 unique units; each issue comprises a single entity, with the number changing from issue to issue. For a monthly publication, you would therefore enter “12” as the No. Units/Level.
|
•
|
Continuous. Mark this box to specify that issues or pages should be numbered continuously regardless of changes in the year or other enumeration levels. If this box is marked, Horizon will not let you enter values in the Value List field. Continuous means that the value of the enumeration will not reset at the calendar reset. |
Note: It is not necessary to mark this box for the volume level. Unless you mark the Calendar Reset box, Horizon automatically bumps the volume up by one when it is supposed to.
|
•
|
Baseline. If the initial volume of a publication contains a number of issues more or less than the usual number per volume, you can enter in the Baseline field the number more or less than the usual number. This base line number would then cause the volume to increase at the appropriate issue despite the odd number of issues. |

Mark the appropriate Data Type radio button: |
|
•
|
Numeral. Mark this to display the character of a given level in numerical form. |
|
•
|
Cap. Let. Mark this to display the character of a given level in capital letters. |
|
•
|
Small Let. Mark this to display the character of a given level in lowercase letters. |
|
•
|
Roman/Small Roman. Mark either of these to display the character of a given level in large or small roman numerals. |
|
•
|
Free Text. Mark this radio button to make the given level display as free text in order to edit this level upon checkin. Horizon will not predict the level specified as free-text as it does the other levels. Free-text enumeration lets you enter any text that you want in this level when an issue of this copy record is checked in. (For more information, see Specifying Free-text Enumeration.) |
|
•
|
Value List. Enter the exact values displayed for the enumeration level. Use this field if the level that you are currently working with does not follow a regular, sequentially incrementing pattern. (For example, assume a title has 4 issues in each volume. The first issue appears as V. 4 n. 1 and the second displayed as V. 4 n. 1A, the third as V.4 n. 1B, and so forth.) |
You would have three levels: volume, number, and part. The third level would need a value list to control the appearance of a blank and an A or B. You would select the data type Cap. Letter then enter the following value list:
Note: Values in the Value List field mean that the issues will have these values for each period between calendar resets.
|
•
|
Cal. Change. Enter the date when the enumeration level increments. For a weekly publication with a volume level that increases by one at the start of each new calendar year and a number level that resets at one each new year, you would enter 01‑01 in the number (issue) group entry as the date when the issue numbers reset at one. If you specify a calendar change, you do not need to enter a value in the No. Units/Level field. |
|
•
|
Calendar Reset box. Mark this to reset the enumeration of the current level, as well as any levels below it, to one. |
Note: This box works in conjunction with the Cal. Change field; Horizon resets the level on the date specified in the Cal. Change field.
When you close the Edit Serials Prediction window, Horizon displays the List Prediction Table window listing the prediction run that you set up.
