Create the component pattern with a monthly frequency, and the enumeration with the max of 5, and no. continuity restarting.
Once the pattern is created and you’re setting up the actual prediction for the title, click on the “Combine/Omit” button in the bottom left hand corner, and omit the 7 months where an issue will not be received.

Subject: [SERIALST] Setting Up a Preditcive Component Pattern in Voyager
Hello everyone,
Our library uses the Acquisitions module of Voyager to manage serials check-in, claims, etc. However, I have been having trouble setting up a predictive component pattern for items that come five times a year. The system will number and
date the first five issues correctly, but it won’t roll the year over for the next five issues. So it will create vol.1, nos. 1-5, 2012, but then it will create vol. 2, nos. 1-5 but with 2012 as the year still. I have not figured out how to get around this
issue. Any help from Voyager users out there?
Thank you,
