When setting up a publication pattern, you enter the same type of information in a template as you do for the publication pattern portion of the Edit Serial Prediction Table window.
To create a publication pattern
1 | Search for the serials title you want and send it to Serials Control, if necessary. |
Horizon displays the Copy List window.
2 | Choose the copy record with the media type for which you want to set up this prediction, or create a new copy record. (For more information, see Creating or Editing a Copy Record.) |
3 | Click Prediction. |
Horizon opens the Prediction Table window.
4 | Click Edit to open the Edit Serials Prediction window. |
5 | Click Pub. Pat. at the bottom of the window. |
Horizon opens the Code Lookup Publication Pattern window. From this window, you can select a publication pattern, create a pattern, or edit a pattern.
6 | Click Add. |
Horizon opens a blank Edit Publication Patterns window:
7 | Enter publication information in these fields: |
• | Pub. Pat. Code. Enter a code for the publication pattern that you are setting up. (For example, if you were setting up a monthly pattern, you may enter “Mon” or “M”.) |
• | Description. Enter a description of the publication pattern. (For example, if you were setting up a monthly pattern, you may enter “monthly” as the description.) |
8 | Specify the frequency information. (For more information, see Specifying the Frequency .) |
9 | Save the file. |
Horizon returns to the Code Lookup Publication Patterns window. The pattern is included in the list.
10 | Click Cancel on the Code Lookup window so that Horizon does not apply the new publication pattern to the title. |
Note: Since you are not applying this publication pattern to the title that you used to access the Edit Publication Pattern window, you must close the window without selecting a pattern. If you accidentally click OK and thereby apply the publication pattern, close the Edit Prediction Setup window without making the change.
