====== Serial Control v.0.1 ======

The lists below give a brief summary of current interface progress.  It should be noted that little has been done concerning proper workflow and exception handling, so expect errors, especially during initial setup.  Here is a rough outline for getting things started:
  * Manually create an asset.copy_template entry
  * Navigate to a record in the Staff Client
  * Select 'Serial Control View' in 'Actions for this Record'
  * Create a subscription (in Subscriptions tab)
  * Create a distribution within this subscription which references your template
  * Create a caption/pattern
  * Create a manual 'starter' issuance from which the others will be predicted (the caption/pattern picker isn't there yet, so type the ID of the caption/pattern you created in the "Caption/Pattern" field of the issuance).
  * With your subscription selected, choose 'Make Predictions' from 'Actions for Selected Row'

Here are a couple "codes" you can use in lieu of the missing GUIs for Pattern Code and Holding Code:\\
Pattern Code (in Caption and Pattern): <code>["2","0","8","1","a","v.","b","no.","u","12","v","r","i","(year)","j","(month)","w","m","x","01"]</code>\\
Holding Code (in Issuance): <code>["4","1","8","1.2","a",6,"b",1,"i",2010,"j","01"]</code>



===== What works so far: =====
  * Items interface
    * View items
    * Receive items (into new or existing units)
    * Bind items (into new or existing units)
  * Subscriptions interface
    * Editors for creating and editing:
      * Subscriptions
      * Distributions
      * Captions and Patterns (barebones)
      * Issuances (barebones)
      * Notes (where applicable)
    * Make predictions (based on last existing issuance only)
    * Basic deleting
  * OPAC display
    * Compressed display of received items at holding library level
    * Limited MFHD integration (concatenation where overlapping)

===== What is still coming: =====
  * More translatable strings in interfaces
  * Better delete support (using 'deleted' flag where needed)
  * Easier initial setup
    * "First Issue" dialog
    * Caption and Pattern GUI
  * "Custom" item tracking
  * Distributions interface
    * Editors for managing:
      * Templates
      * Streams
      * Summaries
  * Units interface (post-receive viewing and managing of units and unit/item relationships)
  * Claims interface
  * More display related options
    * Summarized contents unit labels
    * Caption-level overrides
    * Legacy integration options
  * Permissions
  * General optimizations
