The seasonal pattern for a 2x a year frequency does not work as expected. When using a serial that is a Summer & Winter frequency. If starting the serial with the Summer Issue, setting the last value and inner counter will only default to a Spring start in the test pattern. Setting the last value as any season, will still default to a spring start to the test pattern. The test pattern will adjust after the first two issues- Spring Fall, Summer, Winter, Summer, Winter, etc - but Koha insists on starting this pattern with Spring.
Created attachment 66174 [details] Screenshot of seasonal pattern 2/year Winter/Summer Hi Kelly, I think I figured it out and have attached a screenshot for my pattern. I think the important bits are: - Set the starting season: begins with = 1 = Summer (0 = Spring) - Edit the advanced pattern - Add 2 - Set back to 1 = Summer If it's ok we could switch this to a bug for the manual (add it there as an example maybe?)
Katrin This is awesome. I would agree that a tutorial on using the Season pattern in the manual would be great!
I added the pattern to https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Serial_Pattern_Library instead of the manual
