====== Creating Prediction Patterns ======


There are two ways to create a prediction pattern to use in receiving issues of a serial title:

  - Create a prediction pattern from a pattern template
  - Add a new prediction pattern from scratch

Prediction patterns can be shared within NOBLE or within your library; a number of common prediction patterns (e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly) and unique patterns (e.g. Fortune, Forbes) are maintained by NOBLE and shared among all libraries.
