<h1><a name="XREF_70138_Combine_issues"></a>Combine Issues</h1>
<p>Sometimes publishers deviate from a normal publication pattern and produce a combined issue. You can combine issues when this deviation from the established publication pattern happens once. If the publication will regularly include this combined issue, you should modify the publication pattern (see <a href="../PSsetup/Set_up_the_serial_publication_pattern_regularity.htm#XREF_20481_Set_up_the_serial">Set up the serial publication pattern regularity</a>). </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>Only expected issues, not parts, can be combined. </p>
<p><a name="kanchor860"></a><a name="IX_as_they_are_checked_in"></a>To combine expected issues:</p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Display the Subscription Check In workform that contains the expected issues you want to combine.</li>
<li value="2">Select the two expected issues you want to combine.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>The two issues must be linked to the same publication pattern to be combined. If they are not linked to the same publication pattern, an error message appears, and the issues are not combined.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">Select <b>Tools, Combine</b>&#160;<b>issues</b>&#160;from the menu, or right-click and select <b>Combine issues</b> from the context menu.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The Combine Issues dialog box appears.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="4">Select <b>Enumeration</b>, <b>Chronology</b>, or <b>Both</b>&#160;in the <b>Combine</b>&#160;box. If the combined issue is for supplements or indexes, modify the title information for the new combined issue.</li>
<li value="5">Update the notes information in the <b>Public</b>, <b>Non-public</b>, <b>Non-public/warning </b>fields.</li>
<li value="6">Click <b>OK</b> to combine the two issues.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The original two issues are deleted, and the expected combined issue appears on the Subscription Check In workform.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>When two issues are combined, the resulting issue takes the <a href="javascript:void(0)" class="MCTextPopup MCTextPopupHotSpot MCTextPopup_Open MCTextPopupHotSpot_ MCTextPopupHotSpot_Popup #text #textPopup">chronology<span class="MCTextPopupBody popupBody"><span class="MCTextPopupArrow"> </span>The date(s) used by the publisher on a serially-issued bibliographic unit to help identify or indicate when it was published.
