Once an order for a title has been added the form a Create Subscription Order Wizard is presented with a series of steps to complete the Subscription order, the first of which is the Subscription and any notes to guide its receipt or purchase.  There are two methods of ordering a Subscription in the system either for a specific period of time or the subscription order can be set to  Ongoing  (that is the subscription continues from one year to the next). Ongoing is a time saving feature which means that if the initial subscription period is, say, one year,  90 days before the end of the subscription, the system will automatically generate the next year's issues to be received.  In this way the system constantly keeps generating the next set of issues based on the prediction that has been recorded without the library staff having to do anything other than receive the next issue and the invoice from the supplier as it is presented. If claiming is to be used in the system for any journal issues that are missing this can be selected. The month of Renewal can be set so that this journal subscription can be reviewed   Check In Notes are displayed when issues are received to guide whoever is recording the arrival of issues.   The Subscription start date can be selected using the Calendar control icon and the period of time the subscription is expected to be is recorded. Each Notes area is a free text entry that can be edited and modified using the controls to highlight or arrange the content as needed. The screen display can be enlarged using the orange twin arrow icon
