Holiday Edition

The Holiday Edition option can be used on dates (such as holidays) when you will have different editions than are normally run on that day of the week. Changes in holiday editions are typically accompanied by changes in holiday draw.

For example, let’s say on Thursday you print only two editions (“City” and “Country”). This Thursday is a holiday, however, and you want to replace Thursday’s editions with the editions normally used on Sunday (“Early”, “Morning”, and “Final”). When this utility is run each route will use its Sunday edition on Thursday—the Sunday editions will print on the bundle tops, allowing personnel to correctly distribute “Early”, “Morning”, and “Final” editions to the right routes.

Note:

During route setup, each route is assigned an edition for each day of the week. Also note that alternate edition models may be used for this (see Edition Override for more information).

To switch editions for a holiday:

• Select Holiday Edition from the Account menu to display the Holiday Edition screen.

  
• Select Add and complete the following fields.

  Field	Type	What to enter
  PUBLICATION	setup	Enter the publication for which to make edition changes.
  PUBLISH DATE	date	Enter the publishing date on which you wish to make edition changes. This is the date of the holiday.
  REPLACE DATE	date	Enter the date whose editions should replace the publish date editions. For example, if you want to replace Thursday’s edition with Sunday’s, enter Thursday’s date in PUBLISH DATE, above, and last Sunday’s date here.

• Select Accept to change the editions. After the changes have been made, the main menu will appear.
