Lists
There are three kinds of lists in the ONIXEDIT program.
The Main List is seen when the program is open and presents these titles in the ONIX file that are in the process of being edited:
From the main list, you can make a selection of multiple titles. To make a continuous selection, click on the first record that you want on the list and then, while holding down the SHIFT key, click on the last record you want. To make a discontinuous selection, select your first title and then, holding down the CTRL key, select the other records required in turn. Once you have a selection, you can then activate one of the available functions on that selection. One way to accomplish this is to use the contextual menu which you can pull up using a right click on your mouse:
Starting from the edit titles dialogue, different lists are included:
The standard list:
The "carousel” type lists which are found in the title editing screen:
Whatever the type of list, each is provided with a navigation control on the left bottom of the list:
Navigation control on a list consists of the following elements:
Takes you to the first record on a list.
Takes you to the preceding record.
Indicates the current record.
Takes you to the next record.
Takes you to the last record on the list.
Allows you to add a new record.
Deletes the current record.
Validates the editing in progress on the list.
Cancels the editing in progress on the list.
Except for lists of the “carousel” type, you can always sort the contents of the list in order of one or the other of the columns presented, simply by clicking on the column header. A second click on the same header will reverse the sorting order. You can also combine sorting by several columns by holding the SHIFT key while clicking on the headers.
Starting from the main list, you can double-click on a title to bring up the editing window for that title. It is possible to have several editing windows opened at the same time.
