Horizon groups together issues that share the same prediction pattern and labels the group as a run. A single title can have one or more run groups, depending on the number and types of exceptions. Examples of run types include main, indexes, supplements, and so forth.
When staff members set up a title’s prediction, they must assign it the appropriate run codes to help Horizon differentiate between the title’s different publication patterns.
To create a run code

9 | Enter the order issues belonging to this run type that will be displayed in PAC and staff searching in the summary of holdings for the serials title in the PAC Order field. |
(For example, you may want main run issues displayed first, index issues second, and supplemental issues third. The main run would have the PAC order of “1”; the index run would have the order of “2”; and the supplemental run would have the order of “3”.)
10 | Enter a description of the run code in the Description code. |
11 | Mark the radio button of the Run Type this code corresponds to. |
12 | Save the file. |
