Example 4: Setting Up an End‑of‑the‑Year Index Prediction

This example shows how to set up prediction for a title’s index that:

Comes at the end of every year
Has a chronology that looks like this: 2002
Has an enumeration that looks like this: Index

To set up an end‑of‑the‑year index prediction

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 List Prediction Table window.

4 Set up prediction for the main run first. (For instructions, see Setting Up Basic Prediction .)
5 Click New.

Horizon opens the Edit Serials Prediction Table window, overlaid by the Edit Run Code and Applicability Date window.

6 Enter the code for the index run in the Run field.

Note: This code separates the index run from the main run.

7 Enter the exact same date as you did for the main run in the Applicability Date field.
8 Click OK, or press ENTER.

Horizon returns to the first page of the Edit Serials Prediction Table window.
