New Serials Documentation
by Nicole Engard 06 Dec '13

06 Dec '13

I need some help on the serials documentation after the upgrade to 3.14. Here's what I have: http://manual.koha-community.org/3.14/en/serials.html#newsubscription but I'm not sure what the Locale is for at all .. and I'm not sure I explained the inner counter right - the word Rollover made a lot more sense. I also need an example of what the options for 'When there is an irregular issue' do so I can explain that better. In general if those in the know could review what I wrote and either submit a patch to the manual to make it clearer or send me some notes to clear it up that would be great. Thanks Nicole
