3. First screen after clicking

8. 05/28/09 This screen displays after submit is clicked. This is the issue cycle grid. Each row represents an issue in the pattern. Each cell will require formatted data.

9. Each cell of the grid requires data in one of two formats: Issue increments or Constant values Constant values Issue increments

11. In this pattern each volume consisted of 2 issues, therefore “1” and “2” were entered. The months were placed in quotes as were the dates because this information remained constant throughout issue cycles.

13. 05/28/09 In order for the year to increment upward every cycle a +1 is needed to increase the year by one at the beginning of a new cycle. If “2006” was used instead, the year would never roll to 2007 and beyond. +1 indicates an increase of one from the previous issue. +0 indicates no change from the last issue. The volume increments upward every other issue. +1 and +0 are used to obtain the desired result. If quotes were used the volume would increment properly until the new cycle started. At that point the new cycle would repeat the same volume numbers as the previous year.

14. A Completed Pattern Notice the parentheses? If you want this formatting around dates add on the issue cycle screen.

15. Complex patterns are started in the same way as regular patterns. This is where the user will input values for the issue increments as well as the constant data.

16. If the data entered in the “Start Complex Prediction” window does not correspond to an issue described in the issue cycle tab the “Select a starting Issue” window will display. Simply select the starting issue and select OK.
