Overview of how the copy / print deadline setting works in MagManager
A copy deadline can be set as one date across the whole account or set individually for each issue.
This date will be auto-populated in the Date Due field for artwork, based on the first issue the artwork is booked into. See example below:
This example has the deadline set to the ‘Last Wednesday Before the end of the month’. The first issue the artwork is booked into is the Mar/Apr 2026 issue, so the Date Due is auto populated to 25th February 2026.
