When you create a new show you will initially have no classes and your class list will look like this... The Arabian breed/discipline happens to be selected so there is a place for the Arabian class code and the USEF code. If another breed/discipline is selected this could be different. Also on the File menu Filter Breeds/Disciplines is checked - otherwise codes are not displayed at all. | |||
|
If you have more than one breed/discipline in your show there will be a Breed/Discipline drop down box to switch the list of class templates to the desired breed/discipline. To the left we have Hunter Jumper, Arabian, Saddlebred, and Morgan. Arabian is currently selected, Saddlebred is about to be selected. | ||
Some breeds/disciplines have an enormous number of class possibilities, Quarter Horses and Arabians come to mind but there are others that have quite a large number of class templates. | |||
Clicking on the item in the pop up menu will cause a class to be added to the class list created from the class template... |
Class templates are broken down by Division so if the Division you are working with is not currently selected you will need to change the Division selection. Now select your item in the class templates list and push it over into the classes table using the Add button...
Notice below that a class template has been clicked on and a question mark has appeared next to the cursor...
This indicates that the item is a template set and the actual class templates are sub-items of the template set and will be selected from a pop up menu...
| ||
Once the class is added everything is editable except the class codes which are for reference and are not in fact even visible except if Filter Breeds/Disciplines is checked on the File menu or if there is only one Breed/Discipline being used for the show. Some of the items in the class templates list are not template sets and the question mark will not appear when they are selected. These items will directly create a class in your list from the class template when the Add button is clicked. The idea of class template sets is to keep the list that you are dealing with at any moment to a manageable size, without them with many of the breeds/disciplines you would be dealing with an enormous list that would be completely unmanageable. | |||
