Updating issues using the importer
The system allows you to export any of your current or past issues. You will get a CSV file with all the relevant information. You can update the export file and import to update issue dates, names, or inventory. You can also use the export issue option to quickly create new issues.
Go to Settings > Products > Publication & Issue Setup and click on the add/edit issues link to view a publication's issue list. You have the option to export your current issues or older issues.
The export file will include names, IDs, Dates, and Zones information. You quickly modify any dates and use the file to update your issues. Make sure to include a ‘U’ in a column-row for every issue you want to update. If you don’t the system will create brand new issues.
Once your issues are updated, go to Settings > Data Imports/Exports > Import Data and select the importer.
Map the fields you want to update to in the importer.
Make sure to test the import before running it; be careful to check that the import is updating the issues and not creating new issues.
