Specifying the Chronology

You can specify the chronology for a prediction pattern.

To specify the chronology

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 these fields in the Edit Serials Prediction Table window:

3 Enter a code for the chronology pattern in the Chron. Pattern field. This is a code that controls how the chronology displays each predicted issue—what calendar units (month, week, day, or year) display, whether they are abbreviated or fully spelled, what order they appear in, and if you should include any punctuation, such as commas. Click Codes to view a list of valid chronology patterns.

Note: Horizon does not require a chronology pattern for prediction to work. You just will not be able to see the month, date, year, and so forth, of the issues. If no pattern exists that corresponds with the chronology display of the title, you can click Add to define a new pattern. (For more information, see Creating a Chronology Pattern.)

4 Save the file.
