Task 2.1: Add publication pattern with chronology only

The steps in this task are detailed and so can be followed without necessarily a full understanding of the functionality. However, you may wish to consult the documentation to get a fuller understanding of the steps involved.

1. Login to Snapshot or Snapshot-2 Folio with the username/password: acq-manager / acq-manager

2. Navigate to the “Serials” application

3. Create a New serial record with a description and status “Active” (you do not need to link a PO Line for this task, although if you would like to that is also not a problem)

4. View the serial record and open the Publication pattern accordion and select Add publication pattern

5. Setup a publication pattern as follows:

   1. Publication cycle of 1 issue every 1 day

      1. Cycle length / Time unit = Day

      2. Cycle length / Number of days = 1

      3. No. of issues published per cycle = 1

   2. Use the Add label button to add a label with

      1. Label style = Chronology

      2. Chronology format = Chronology Date

      3. Weekday format = Monday

      4. Month day format = 3rd

      5. Month format = Oct

      6. Year format = 2023

   3. Complete the template with the text {{chronology1.weekday}}, {{chronology1.monthDay}} {{chronology1.month}} {{chronology1.year}}

6. Click “Preview”

7. Choose an appropriate start date (this could be 1st of January but could be any date of your choosing) and click “Preview”

8. The preview should show one years worth of issues starting on the date you specified (this will be 365 or 366 issues depending on whether the leap day 29th February is included in the time span chosen) . Each issue should be listed with a publication date and a display label in the form Monday, 1st Jan 2024

You may wish to try different values for the weekday/month day/month/year format values in the label to see how this changes the outcome at the Preview step.
