This is an optional feature of Millennium Serials. Contact Innovative if you wish to have this feature enabled.
A system default will be set for your system - either Yes, No, or Yes with Dialog. This will be the default when you create a new card or view the parameters of an existing card. To change an individual card's default behavior, change the setting in the card parameters at Tools | Card Menu | Edit Card.
An Update holdings? box will appear in the upper right corner above the card in the Card tab. This will appear as whatever option you set as the default for the individual card. You can override the card's default setting and change to any of the other options at any time for an individual issue by changing this drop-down box before checking in an issue. After checkin the setting will revert to the default setting for that card.
If there is not a MARC holdings statement for the card yet, checking in the first issue will create a holdings statement. Each subsequent issue that is checked in will then be appended to the statement. The holdings statement cannot be left open-ended with this feature.
The example below shows changing the card's default to "Yes", checking in the first issue of a card and creating a new MARC holdings statement (853/863) as a result:

If you skip an issue, the Update holdings process will automatically create a new range with a gap break separator. When that skipped issue is subsequently checked in, the holdings statement will be merged into one range as shown in the example below:
NOTE: If a serial has levels of chronology and no enumeration and you check in issues in other than chronological order, you must merge the resulting holdings statements manually with the Merge with previous button.
