Defining 'Drop-ins'
When we are looking at drop-in title handling in CataList, what exactly do we mean when we talk about drop-ins?
We define a drop-in as a title that is a late addition to a publisher's list — announced after the season's catalogues have been released, but which need to be sold and/or shipped before the next season's catalogues will be published and the next set of selling appointments start. Some publishers may refer to these title as "add-on" titles, but in CataList we use the term drop-in to apply to both add-on and drop-in titles.
It is a challenge for reps and buyers to ensure that they are buying or selling all of the titles that get added to publisher lists after the main catalogues are releases and sales appointments have started. Drop-in flags alert all involved to these late additions.

Drop-in FAQs
Here are some common questions and troubleshooting tips about the drop-in flag display in CataList.
Q: I marked a title as a drop-in, but I don't see this title in the drop-in report and the flag does not display next to the publication date in catalogue views.
A: The first thing
...
to check in this case is the Publication Date for the item. If the publication date of the item is a month or more in the past, the drop-in flag will no longer display. This may be an issue for reissues in particular, which will not be reported as drop-ins until the publication date has been corrected to a date in the future.
If the publication date is in the future or is in the last 30 days, use the Organize catalogue tool to set the drop-in flag for the title and ensure that you save your changes.
Q: Do I need to manually remove the drop-in flag after a title releases?
A: There is no need for manual drop-in flag maintenance. CataList makes maintenance easy by automatically updating so that titles more that 30 days past publication date are no longer reported as drop-ins.
Q: I am organizing a catalogue, and one or more of the titles do not display a drop-in flag that I can edit.
A: If the catalogue you are editing is a custom catalogue, you will not be able to edit the drop-in flag in this view. Drop-in flags can be edited in seasonal catalogues only. If you are working in a seasonal catalogue, the title(s) may be associated to a different publisher account. You may only change the drop-in flag status on one of your own titles.
