About the Issue Maintenance page

In This Topic

The Issue Maintenance page lists all the issues for the selected title, for example:

Filter and Clear

If there are lots of issues you can filter the list by showing only the issue for a specific cover date or issue title.

For example, type march in the Issue title field and press Enter or click Filter. This will list only the issues with "March" in their title, e.g. "March 8 - March 14, 2017 Volume 24 Number 8" and "March 1 - March 7, 2017 Volume 24 Number 7" in the example above.

Or type 22/2/17 in the Cover date field and press Enter or click Filter. This will list the issue with the cover date "22/02/2011" in the example above.

Click Clear to clear the filter and list all issues.
