Issue settings in Studio Server

In Studio, an Issue represents the actual publication such as a daily newspaper, a monthly magazine, a yearly report, and so on.

The settings for an Issue that can be set in Studio Server vary per type of Issue, as described below.

Settings for print

• 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 is reached and click the Recalculate icon. This will automatically calculate the Deadline based on the entered Publication Date.

• Expected Pages. Number of expected pages.
