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):

["2","0","8","1","a","v.","b","no.","u","12","v","r","i","(year)","j","(month)","w","m","x","01"]

Holding Code (in Issuance):

["4","1","8","1.2","a",6,"b",1,"i",2010,"j","01"]
