Managing teams

TeamNames00058.pngUse Toolbox or Docker > Team Names to associate multiple names with a design.
ExportMembers00059.pngUse Team Names > Export Team Members to export a list of team members in either TXT or CSV format.
ManageTeams00060.pngUse Team Names > Manage Teams to manage teams and team members for future use.

A teamname object may contain all names in a given team, or a subset of those names. You can even combine members from different teams.

To manage teams...

  • Open a teamname design and click the Team Names icon. By default all names are selected.
  • To save a team for future use, click the Export Team Members icon in the Teamname List. The dialog will open onto a public folder containing all your teams – a single file, either TXT or CSV, for each team.

  • Use the +Column or -Column buttons to establish the number of names for each team member – the default is three (3).
  • Select names to associate with the design. To select multiple names, hold down Ctrl or Shift as you select.
  • Edit the list as necessary by means of Delete and Edit buttons.
  • Add team members one-by-one or as a group:
  • To add a single name, click Add in the Team Members panel.

TIP

You can type in the names, or paste them in from a text file. Each name must be separated by a comma. There is no need for a space.

  • Click OK. The new names are added to the Team Members list.
  • Transfer names, selectively or all together, to the Teamname list using the arrow buttons. You can even transfer names from different teams to the same list.

  • Edit the list as desired:
  • Sort names alphabetically by column.
  • Sequence names – this will determine their stitching order.
  • Remove names from the list.
  • Click the Name Order button if you want to change the default naming order. Use it, for example, to put surnames first or limit which names are included – e.g first and third.
