Setting Up Basic Prediction
You set up basic prediction for a copy record by entering data in the fields in the Edit Serials Prediction Table window.
To set up basic prediction
|
1
|
Search for the serials title you want and send it to Serials Control, if necessary. |
Horizon displays the Copy List window.
|
2
|
Click the copy record with the media type for which you want to set up prediction to highlight it. |
|

|
Click the Prediction button. |
Horizon opens an empty Prediction Table for Bib No. window.
Horizon briefly displays the Edit Serials Prediction Table window, overlaid by the Edit Run Code and Applicability Date window:
You must specify the applicability date and run before setting up the prediction.
|

|
Enter the run code in the Run field for the main run. Click Codes for a list of valid choices. |
|
6
|
Enter the date in the Appl. Date field when you want prediction to begin. |
The applicability date represents the date when Serials should begin predicting issues, not the date when the title was first published or the date when you first started receiving the title. This means that you should enter a date that makes sense for Serials to use to predict future issues. (For example, if you started receiving a monthly title on 06/15/2003, then you should enter “01/01/2003” as the applicability date from which Serials should begin predicting issues.)
Horizon closes the Edit Run Code and Applicability Date window and returns to the first page of the Edit Serials Prediction Table window.
