<H3>Editing List Items</H3>
<p>
<h4>Edit List Items Window</h4>
<p>
Double-tap any item in your list, or select any item and pick
the <b>Properties</b> menu pick or button to display the
Edit List Items window. Use this to change any of the values
for your list items, or to display information in any fields
not currently being displayed on your list.
<p>
<b>Name</b> is the name of the list item, and is required for every item.
<p>
<b>Amount</b> stores the value of the Amount field. This value must be a valid
numeric value and may contain a decimal point. Remember that you can also set up
your list to ask you for amounts when you check an item, or
flag an item to be included on a Two-step (Shopping) List.
Set this up in <a href="file:lp_editlist.htp">List Properties</a>. Amount
values are always optional.
<p>
<b>Units</b> is
the unit associated with the amount, such as dollars, pounds,
gallons, cups or minutes. You can choose an item in the Units list,
or enter any other value. To add units values, just enter one into
the list -- it will then be available for the rest of that list.
Units are optional, and are <b><i>not</i></b>
required if you use Amount.
<p>
<b>Category</b> can be any text value.
Choose a category from the list or add a new one.
To add a Category, just enter the information into
the list -- it will then be available for the rest of that list.
Categories can be used to sort or filter the items on your list.
Category information is always optional.
<p>
<b>Priority</b> can be any number. Choose a priority number from the
list or enter one in. Priority is always optional.
<p>
<b>Checked</b> is the same as the checking an item
on the list window.
<p>
<b>Flagged</b> is the same as flagging an item for inclusion on a
Two-Step or Shopping list in the on the list window.
<p>
<b>Notes</b> lets you add any additional information for this item.
Notes can also be used to sort or filter the items on your list. Notes information
is always optional.
<p>
Use the <b>OK</b> button to update the item with the new
information you entered, and to close the Edit List Items window.
Use the <b>Apply</b>
button to update the item, but <b><i>not</i></b> close
the window, so that you can edit more than one item at once.
Use the <b>Next</b> and <b>Previous</b> buttons to move between
list items.
<p>
Uncheck <b>Confirm Changes</b> to apply
any changes you make without requesting
confirmation before moving to another item.
<p>
The <b>Cancel</b>
button closes the window without applying your current changes to the item.
<p>
<h4>Reordering List Items </h4>
<p>
You can move list items up or down with the
<b>arrow buttons</b> in the command bar or the <b>Move Item Up</b>
and <b>Move Item Down</b> menu picks. You can also use the
clipboard <b>Cut</b> and <b>Paste</b> features to change the
position of list items.
<p>
List items can only be repositioned when they have not been
sorted, and when all items are showing. Use the <b>Remove Sorting</b> pick
on the <b>View</b>
menu to remove any sorting and allow you to change the order
of list items. Be sure that <b>Don't Show Checked Items</b>
and <b>Show Only Flagged Items</b> are not checked so that you can
reposition any list items. You must also remove any filters before
you can reposition list items.
<p>
Note that
when you paste
items into the list, they will be pasted following the currently selected item
only if sorting has been removed.
If the list is sorted, pasted items will appear in
the list in their sorted position.
