<p>The retention designator and the <b>Display in PAC</b>&#160;settings apply only to checked in serial issues, not standing order parts. If you have the <b>Display in PAC</b>&#160;setting turned off (unchecked), no issues that are linked to this serial holdings record will display in the PAC. If the <b>Display in PAC</b>&#160;setting is turned on (checked) in the serial holdings record, the issues will display in the PAC according to the settings in the <b>Retention Designator</b>. Standing order parts are monographic, so they are displayed (or suppressed from display) according to the <b>Display in PAC</b>&#160;setting in the bibliographic or item record. </p>

<h2><a name="TOC_Subscription_Records"></a>Subscription Records</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor3155"></a><a name="IX_overview_72"></a>Subscription records&#160;are optional in Polaris, but they are necessary to track renewals or create purchase orders automatically when subscriptions are renewed. Serial holdings records can be linked to a subscription record.</p>

Each issue is linked to a serial holdings record, and the issue record inherits the title information from the serial holdings record. The issue record contains issue-specified information such as its status (Expected, Pending claim, Claimed, Never published, Not available, Received), exact publication information (enumeration, chronology, chronology date, publication date), public and non-public notes, and the arrival date. If an issue is to be circulated, or the library wishes to retain in-house use statistics, an item record is linked to each issue record during the receiving (check-in) process. If the issue has been claimed, the claiming history appears in the Claims view of the Issue workform. When an issue is routed, the route status appears on the Notes view of the Issue workform. The issue record can also be linked to an invoice, allowing its payment to be tracked in the Acquisitions subsystem.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3160"></a><a name="IX_processing_1"></a>Polaris manages subscriptions using two levels of records: serial holdings records, and issue records.

The individual titles may or may not be numbered. The collective title is generally found on the title page or the cover of each monograph.</span></a>. They track the receipt of the volumes, and each standing order part record contains the specific enumeration and or chronology of the piece. During standing order part check-in, a bibliographic record for the part is created or linked to the standing order part. Each standing order part representing the volume is linked to the serial holdings record representing the series. The standing order part can also be linked to an invoice, allowing its payment to be tracked in the Acquisitions subsystem. In addition, item records can be linked to each standing order part record during the receiving (check-in) process.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3161"></a><a name="IX_processing_overview_3"></a>Like subscriptions, standing orders have two levels of records: serial holdings records and part records.

<h1><a name="XREF_73793_Deleting_Serial"></a><a name="XREF_66140_Serials_Processing"></a><a name="XREF_85089_Serials_Workflow"></a>Serials Workflow </h1>
<p>Below are the steps involved in managing serials in Polaris:</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>To customize workflow and streamline operations with Polaris Administration settings, see <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online"><a href="../../Serials_Admin/PDKserial/Serials_Administration.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Serials Administration Overview</span></a>.</MadCap:conditionalText></p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Create or import bibliographic records (if they do not already exist) for each serial title held by the library. See <a href="../../Cataloging/PKcreate/Creating_MARC_Records.htm#XREF_42000_Creating" data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online">Creating MARC Records</a> or <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online"><a href="../../Cataloging/PKimport/Importing_Records.htm#XREF_93409_Importing_Records">Importing Records</a></MadCap:conditionalText>.</li>
<li value="2">Set up templates for common publication patterns, for example, weekly publications. Once you have set up publication pattern templates, you can select them from a list in the serial holdings record. You can also set up a publication pattern in the serial holdings record for a specific title. See <a href="../PSsetup/Creating_Publication_Pattern_Templates.htm#XREF_52522_Creating_Serial">Creating Publication Pattern Templates</a>. </li>
<li value="3">Set up supplier records for each of your serial vendors. If you claim serials, set up the claiming information on the Supplier workform. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online">See <a href="../../Acquisitions/PAsuppliers/Create_a_new_supplier_record.htm#XREF_64866_Create_a_supplier">Create a new supplier record</a>. </MadCap:conditionalText></li>
<li value="4">Create a serial holdings record for each serial title, and copy the record for each copy of the title. For example <span style="font-style: italic;">Time Magazine</span>&#160;at the Main Street branch would have a different serial holdings record from <span style="font-style: italic;">Time Magazine</span>&#160;at West Street branch. Specify a publication pattern for the expected serial issues. If you claim serials issues/parts, and you want to add more claiming intervals than are available on the Supplier record, add more claiming intervals on the Serial Holdings record. See <a href="../PSsetup/Displaying_Serial_Titles_in_the_PAC.htm#XREF_15285_Creating_a_Serial">Displaying Serial Titles in the PAC</a> and <a href="../PSclaim/Enter_claiming_criteria_in_the_serial_holdings_record.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Enter Claiming Criteria in the Serial Holdings Record</span></a>.</li>
<li value="5">(Optional) If you claim serials issues/parts, set up claiming to be automatic or manual, and specify the notification method. <MadCap:conditionalText data-mc-conditions="Primary.Online">See <a href="../../Serials_Admin/PDKserial/Set_up_claiming_notification.htm#XREF_57739_Set_up_claiming">Set up claiming notification</a>. </MadCap:conditionalText></li>
<li value="6">(Optional) If you circulate any serial titles, set up serial item templates. See <a href="../PSsetup/Creating_Serial_Item_Templates.htm#XREF_19199_Serial_Item_Record">Creating Serial Item Templates</a>.</li>
<li value="7">(Optional) If you want to track subscription renewals or create purchase orders automatically when subscriptions are renewed, create a subscription record. See <a href="../PSsubscriptions/Managing_Subscriptions.htm#XREF_35765_Managing">Managing Subscriptions</a>. </li>
<li value="8">(Optional) If you want to route serial issues, set up route lists that contain the text, routing information, and names of the individuals to whom you want to route issues. See <a href="../PSrouting/Creating_Route_Lists.htm#XREF_34201_Creating_a_Route">Creating Route Lists</a>.</li>
<li value="9">As issues/parts are delivered to the library, check in the issues/parts using the Check In workform. See <a href="../PSrecev/Checking_In_Serials.htm#XREF_38500_Checking_In_Serials">Checking In Serials</a>.</li>
<li value="10">(Optional) Print serials labels and route slips. See <a href="../PSrecev/Print_a_label_for_a_serial_issue_or_part.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Print a Label for a Serial Issue or Part</span></a> and <a href="../PSrouting/Printing_Route_Slips.htm" class="MCXref xref"><span style="color: Blue;" class="mcFormatColor">Printing Route Slips</span></a>.</li>
