Millennium Guide: Serials, "Moving Enumeration Levels"

["West, Barbara - HPL" <Barbara.West@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am in the unenviable position of writing training documentation for, and
subsequently training clients on Millennium Serials even though I am by no
means a "power cataloger" of serials.

I have run across the following section on page 104078 of the User Manual
and the "examples" provided by III make no sense to me whatsoever:

**********************************
Moving Enumeration Levels

The

     Move Issue Level 
     Move Supplement Level 
     Move Index Level 

options are advanced Checkin card editing options that allow you to move the
data from one enumeration level to another in a Checkin card.

These options alter the enumeration levels in the entire Checkin card, not
just selected boxes.

Two examples illustrate why you may edit enumeration levels:

     A serial has three levels of enumeration, the first of which is left
blank. This causes the Check-in Box dialog to display at every check-in. To
avoid this, move the data from the second and third levels of enumeration up
one level.   [snip]
****************************************************************************

Why on earth would one ever leave one of three levels of enumeration blank,
particularly if that level was the first one?  I have been trying to think
of an example without success.  Can any of you help me?
