Inserting Boxes Before a Selected Box on a Checkin Card
The following options in Tools | Box Menu allow you to insert a specified number of checkin card boxes before the box you have selected.
- Insert Issue Boxes before Selected
- Insert Supplement Boxes before Selected1
- Insert Index Boxes before Selected1
1Note that these options are disabled unless you have chosen the Add supplements and indexes option in the Setup tab. If you have not previously set the supplement and index parameters, Sierra prompts you to define the supplement and/or index captions and pattern before allowing you to add supplements and/or indexes. See Editing Checkin Card Parameters for information on defining these parameters.
NOTE
The Bind with issues option on the Supplements and Indexes tabs determines whether the supplements and indexes will be bound with the regular serial issues. However, supplements and indexes you intend to bind with a specific range of issues must reside within the range of issues and cannot precede or follow that range.
The instructions below describe how to use the Insert Issue Boxes before Selected option. The other two options function in the same way.
- Choose Serials Checkin from the Function list.
- Retrieve the checkin card.
- Select the box that new boxes should be inserted before.
- Choose an option from the Tools | Box Menu.
Keyboard shortcuts for Box Menu options are:
- Insert to add an issue box
- Shift+Insert to add a supplement box
- Ctrl+Insert to add an index box
- Fill in the checkin card fields for the first issue you want to add. See Overview of Checkin Card Fields for information on editing these fields.
- Specify the number of boxes to add. The default setting for Number of boxes to add is '1'.
- Choose OK to insert the boxes. Choose Cancel to exit the dialog without making any changes.
