• Name. Name of the Issue.
• Publication Date. Date (and time, if required) when the Issue needs to be published by.
• Deadline. Date (and time, if required) when the Issue needs to be finished by.

Tip: Instead of entering a date, enter the number of days, hours, and/or minutes before the publication date should be reached and click the Recalculate icon. This will automatically calculate the Deadline based on the entered Publication Date.

• Expected Pages. Number of expected pages.
• Subject. This feature is currently not functional.
• Description. The description of the issue; appears in the Library of the Content Viewer.

• Publication title. The title that will appear at the top of each issue in the Library and in the top Navigation bar of the Content Viewer.

Tip: For best results, use no more than 35 characters.

• DPS Product ID. The unique ID of the product.

Notes: It is highly recommended to use a Product ID that is in lower case characters only. Although the use of upper case characters is allowed, certain scenarios are known in which they are the cause of technical issues. If your folio is a retail version, make sure that your Product ID matches the Product ID specified during the In App Purchase process for iPad apps or the In App Billing process for Android apps. If you specify a different Product ID, the folio fails to appear in your custom viewer app

Tip: For best results, use the com.publisher.publication.issue format (such as com.adobepress.dps_tips.july2013) to specify the Product ID.

• Page orientation. Defines which page orientation is to be used in the Content Viewer:
• Landscape only
• Portrait only
• Landscape and portrait.

Note: The Content Viewer uses this setting to show the issue in the set orientation; this allows having issues with different orientation settings within the same Reader App.

• Horizontal: all pages of all stories are placed next to each other.

• Active. Use to deactivate the Issue. This will hide the Issue and all objects assigned to the Issue from the users without actually removing the Issue from the system.
