Duplicate Issues
- Anne Krieg
Introduction
The higher the publication frequency, the more issues must be created for a publication. To reduce the considerable manual effort involved, the Quick Action on the "Duplicate issues" offers the option of creating multiple issues, including the availabilities and placements stored there, with a single click.
You can also define issues as templates by activating the checkbox f42_dispo__isTemplate__c.
Issues that are marked as templates are no longer available for selection in the quotation process.
Salesforce Configuration
The Quick Action "Duplicate Issues" opens a Lightning component:
With the field values required in the component, you also define a regular publication cycle for your issues:
Field (with example) | Explanation |
|---|---|
Lists the issues marked as templates in a selection list. | |
Start number for the generic numbering of the issues | |
This number defines how many issues should be created | |
Desired publication frequency | |
This selection list opens in case of monthly publication cycle. Here you can specify in which week of the month the issues should appear. | |
On this day of the week the new issues are published. | |
The series of duplicate issues begins with this publication date. | |
Information for ad scheduling: Calculates the ad deadline based on the publication date, e.g. 21 days before publication. | |
Information for ad scheduling: Calculates the deadline for printing documents based on the publication date, e.g. 14 days before publication. |
We recommend to create a master edition of a publication, including the corresponding availabilities and placements, mark it as a template and duplicate it as often as required.
Please note that when duplicating digital issues, the field f42_dispo__PublicationDateUntil__c is not calculated automatically. This value needs to be added manually using a list view. The optimization of this feature for digital issues is planned for the next release.
