Hello,
I am setting up serials subscriptions in Koha and have a question about creating the prediction pattern for a particular title. The /Journal of the American Statistical Association/ comes out quarterly and the volume changes every year. However, the numbering is continuous. The copy I have in hand is Volume 104, Number 486. Can someone explain how to create a custom prediction for this title?
You can choose Numbering formula: Volume {X}, Number {Y}, {Z} (Z if you want the year for instance) Then you edit advanced pattern :
For X : Add : 1 once every : 4 (every 4 issues for a quarterly, as volume changes every year) When more than 9999999 inner counter Set back to 0 Begins with 104
inner counter : if you begin with first issue of the year write nothing or 0; if you begin with the second issue (april-june for instance), inner counter = 1 (you say to koha to take into account already one "received" issue, to calculate when the volume changes) ; ...
For Y : Add : 1 once every : 1 (for each received issue) When more than 9999999 inner counter : same as for X Set back to 0 Begins with 486
For Z : Add : 1 once every : 4 When more than 9999999 inner counter : same as for X Set back to 0 Begins with 2009
You let "When more than 9999999" , "Set back to 0",as volume, number and year increase continuously

Laurence
