List Entries
You add a list entry by clicking Add New on a row (first you need to ad the row: Add Row). Use the commands Move Right and Move Left and Delete, to modify the order and remove list entries from rows.A List Entry Has the Following Properties
- Type defines the contents of the entry. The type Text lets you define the entire text yourself. For all other types, MeOS will put in the corresponding text when the list is generated.
- In the field Custom text you can type a custom string. If you leave this field blank, you get only the text generated by MeOS. If you provide a string, use the character X to place the generated text. The entry of type Course length for course constitute a good example. You can type
X meters
orX m
depending on if you prefer 2500 meter or 2500 m in the list (given a class with this length). If you provide course lengths in some other unit, like Inches, Feet, or Ångström, this feature is also useful. - Align with lest you align the list entry horizontally with a list entry in some other row. To adjust with a list post of type Text, you need to the corresponding text in the field Text.
- Adjust block-wise means that text takes at least the size specified by the block size. Any text above which is anchored inside the block (i the vertical coordinate) is pushed to the right and anchored where the block ends.
- Least indentation is used to force the entry away from the left margin.
- Med Format select how the text is formatted relative the base format. Setup the base format under the list Properties.
- Apply for specific leg is used when the entry refers to a team and you want to specify the team member of a specific leg. For a patrol start list, it is of interest to access name, card number, etc for the first and second competitor. You can do this either by using a sublist (which give one row for each patrol member). If you want everything on the same row, you can access the individual legs on the team row with this property.
- Merge with previous means the the text of the entry is appended to the text of the entry to the left, instead of getting its own column. No blank space is added by MeOS, so usually you need to use a Custom text: for a simple blank space, write " X". When this option is active, other formatting settings, such as color, adjustment and indentation, will be inherited from the list entry to the left.
- Text adjustment lets you select if the text in the column will be left adjusted, right adjusted or centered.
- Color lets you set the text color.
MeOS Insight
Some fields, such a bib number and ranking, are automatically excluded if no competitor has a bib (or ranking). Other fields may change format depending on the competition. The start time, for example, is formatted without seconds when all competitors start at whole minutes.
The width of the fields are automatically adjusted so that all fields have enough space. However, this adjustment is only made when the list is loaded, not at an automatic update. In normal cases this has no practical implication, but if you experience problems, you should close the list and open it again.
