The copyright we include in our outputs should be a range, where the first year is the date the output was first produced and the second year is the current publish date. Use this task if you have not already set up your existing publications to show a copyright range. The copyright appears in the legal page and in the footer of outputs.
Copyright ranges can be different across books within a project. For example, you might have a new book created for a 2016 release, which would have a copyright of 2016. And you might have another book that’s been published since 2012, which should have a copyright range of 2012–2016.
  1. Open the properties of the publication.
  2. Select the Avaya-specific fields tab.
  3. Set the Created Date field to the date of the product release for which the output was first published.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    If you set this date when you first published your output and have used the Revised Date for subsequent releases, this date should already be set properly
    Important:
    If you have been updating the Created Date for every release instead of using the Revised Date field, change the Created Date to the proper date. If you do not know when the date of the first release the output was published for, check with your GIS Program Manager or check the Avaya support site to try to find the date. If you cannot determine the date of first publish, leave the Created Date as the current publish date and be sure to start using the Revised Date field in future releases
  4. For existing outputs, if the Revised Date is not already populated, set it to the current publish date.
    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    • You do not have to set the Revised Date if it’s the first release of an output.
    • If the Created Date and Revised Date are the same year, the copyright date in the output will only show one year
    • If you set the Revised Date to a date more than five years ago (so that the output always uses the current date), note that the system has been configured to recognize this, and will use the current year as the second year in the copyright range.
  5. Click OK.
