Adding New Issues (Months) To Your Publication

For Publication Six Monthly to Annually click here to read additional notes below.

 

There are 3 ways of adding a new issue (month) to your publication

NOTE: MagManager will create your new issue based on the page count of the last created issue, not the last issue you sent to your printer. 

In the screen shot below the Indigo October 2025 issue will be created at 40 Pages. If you require your future issue to be at a higher or lower page count, you would add/remove pages from the September 2025 issue first then create the October 2025 and any future issues.

1 - Click on Publications in the top navigation bar > Click the green New Issue button to the right of the screen > Click the green Create Issue button for the months you want to create an issue for.

 

2 - Go to settings by clicking on the gear icon, top right of the screen > Under Publications & Bookings > Click Publications  > Click on the name of one of your publications. This will display a list of the issues already set up > Click the green New Issue button at the top right of the screen > Click the green Create Issue button for the months you want to create an issue for.

3 - It is also possible to create new issues of a magazine directly from the Client booking screen. To enable this feature, go to settings by clicking on the gear icon, top right of the screen > Under the  Settings header click on System Defaults > Under Site Defaults, switch on "Show Add Issue on Bookings”.

Publications Six Monthly to Annually

By default MagManager will only display the 'Create Issue' button for issues 3 months ahead of your last issue.  If you print less frequently than quarterly follow the steps below:

 

In this example Test Publication's last issue was created for March 2025, it's an annual publication so the next issue you need to create is for March 2026.

In order to create a new issue for March 2026 you first need to create an issue for December 2025.  Once December has been created March 2026 will then come into view and you can go ahead and create a new issue for March 2023

The next step is to delete the issues you do not intend to use, so June, September & December.  You can delete these by following the steps below.

 

Deleting issues from your publication

Click on Publications in the top navigation bar > Click the green New Issue button to the right of the screen > Click the green Create Issue button -  You will now see that any created issues which currently have no bookings show red.

NOTE: If you still have bookings or invoices relating to an issue, the issue will be greyed out and you will not be able to delete the issue until you first delete these.
