Edition Override

On certain occasions such as holidays, a publication may have special editions, or routes might deliver different editions than they normally would. For example, if the newspaper is closed on Christmas, a route might deliver edition “Early”, dropped off the night before, rather than edition “Late” on Christmas day.

Circulation allows you to change the editions delivered by routes based on alternate edition models. These models are set up in advance (see the Setup Manual) and indicate the edition each route should deliver when the model is used. You can have several different alternate edition models—for example, an “Xmas” model, an “election” model, and a “snow day” model. Alternate edition models are used only with routes; editions delivered to mail subscribers (which is determined by their label group) cannot be changed in this manner.

Use Edition Override to override the editions for a regular or advanced publishing run.

To override editions:

• Select Edition Override from the Publishing menu to display the Edition Override Setup window. This option is available only if you have alternate edition models set up.

• Click the Add Edition Override Setup button ().

  
• Complete the following fields and click OK to add the override.

  Field	Type	What to enter
  PRODUCT	setup	Enter the product whose editions will be overridden.
  RUN TYPE	predefined	Indicate whether the edition override will be for the regular (actual) publishing run, or for the advance publishing run.
  RUN DATE	date	Enter the publishing date on which the edition override will occur.
  PAPER SECTION	setup	If you are entering an edition override for an advance publishing run, you can specify a section to which the override applies, or enter “*” to include all sections. Advance processing bundle tops, stacker, and truck manifests will use the alternate edition model only when run for the sections indicated here.
  EDITION MODEL	setup	Specify the edition model that should be used for this product on this publishing date. Each route will receive the edition defined for it under this model.
