Hi Emrys My problem isn't actually that there is no 'New Subscription' button. What I'm trying to establish is how it's meant to work. (I'm using Koha 3.03.) If I go to the Serials page, there are boxes for "ISSN" and "Title" and a search button. I enter the ISSN of a serial for which I already have a bibliographic record and click "Search". A heading "Serials subscriptions" comes up (and the column headings for an empty table of subscriptions) and a button with "+ New subscription". If I click that button, a form for "Add a new subscription" appears but no indication of the serial I am working on, and it has two empty boxes for "Biblio" with links "Search for biblio" and "Create biblio". So I'm not sure whether I'm working on that serial or whether I need to do another search. I would expect one or both of these boxes to be populated with the serial I had selected. Clicking on "Search for Biblio" or "Search for a Vendor" gets nowhere and shows "Error on page" at the bottom of the screen in IE.

This is obviously at odds with what is illustrated in the 3.0 manual. (I am using 3.00.04_fixed.) Interestingly, in the serials page's source it appears that there actually is a javascript function to create a 'newsubscription' button -- and a call to that function, I think...

Thanks, Nicole, but I'm afraid this doesn't get me any further. I imagine you type the biblio number in the left box and then click Search. Is anything meant to appear then? Should it also work if you type the title in the right box?
Okay, I'll update the manual to make it cleared - and it looks like Henri-Damien has answered you.

Thanks Nicole C. Engard Documentation Manager

Can someone tell me please exactly how to start on "Add a new subscription"? There are two boxes against "Biblio" (the second with brackets) and underneath Search for Biblio | Create Biblio. What do I put in what box and what is supposed to happen then? I think it's not working but I'd like to be sure!
Thanks,
Andrew
