You must set up nonpredictable, or free-text, enumeration after you have specified the predictable enumeration (volume, number, issue). You enter nonpredictable enumeration in the last group, last level, of the Enum. Pattern group. If you try to enter free-text enumeration on any other level, Horizon displays an error message. (For more information on enumeration groups and levels, see About Prediction.)
To specify free-text enumeration
1 | Open the Edit Serials Prediction Table window for the run that you are working with. (For instructions, see Opening the Edit Serials Prediction Table Window.) |
2 | Click Page Down or resize the window to display this group in the Edit Serials Prediction Table window: |
3 | Set up all levels and groups of enumeration that are predictable. (For instructions, see Specifying the Enumeration.) |
4 | Click New on the Enum. Pattern group. |
5 | Enter the last enumeration group in the Enum. Group field. |
6 | Enter the last level in the Level field. |
7 | If you want to attach a label to the free-text enumeration, such as “season” or “pages” enter that Label in the label field. |
Note: Because Serials does not predict free-text, that label remains with the enumeration display as is until you edit it at checkin. You may choose to leave the label field blank. This lets you enter any text or numbers that you want when an issue is checked in.
8 | Mark the Free Text radio button. |
9 | Save the file. |
Note: Remember that you enter the free-text enumeration for the issue in Serials Checkin when you check in the issue.
