Introduction
This help topic explains how to add and edit Frequency types for subscriptions. You will use Frequencies when you set up a subscription to indicate how often new issues/parts should be expected. A variety of Frequencies are supplied with KnowAll Matrix by default, but you can add to and edit these.
Adding/editing Frequencies

- Note that your account must have the Serials Admin role, specifically.
- Click on Library Admin, then Serials.
- Under Authority Lists, click Frequencies to open the Frequencies authority list, as below.
- To add a new Frequency type, click the Add New button. This opens the Add New Frequency window, as below.

- Choose the Interval Unit from the drop-down menu – e.g. day, week, month. This determines the measure of the Interval Length.

- If necessary, adjust the Days Between issues/parts.
