[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Serial entry into Evergreen 2.6

[Michael Shaw]

Assistance requested:

Over the last several days, I have spent a fair amount of time *not*
successfully
entering several subscriptions. All of the ones I cannot get to work are of
one or another type of irregular issuance; for example, published four
times a year in February, May, August and November.  Another no longer
displays its publication cycle under its masthead AND the only enumeration
caption it uses is an issue number.

Have tried multiple permutations of entry of patterns to no avail. When I
try to generate predictions, the UI hangs at the progress meter. I have
tried the cheat patterns, but it is difficult for me to discern which one
applies in which case. So far, I haven't gotten a cheat pattern to work.

In the previous system our organization used, it was not at all a challenge
to manually enter receipt of periodical/serial issues.

Can we, in these cases, manually enter a subscription without generating
predictions?  If so, how?

Thanks!

Look to the LORD and his strength;
       seek His face always.
(Psalm 104:5 - NIV)

And he (Jesus) told them a parable to the effect that they ought *always to
pray* and not lose heart.  (Luke 18:1 - ESV)
