How To Add Features
1. Use the Create New Button
Image: After using the Create New button, the new feature is listed at the top with a default name.
To add a new feature, use the Create New button. Your new item will appear at the top of the list.
For Location Features:
- Don’t tie features to particular location types; for example, have a feature such as “Seating, Tiered,” not “Science Lab, Seating, Tiered”
- List only features that will be requested
- List only features that don’t exist in all locations
- Group features by name and type so users can easily find them; for example, “Board, Erasable, Large,” “Board, Erasable, Small,” and so on
- If you’re planning to use the Schedule25 Optimizer, check the Schedule25 box of each feature you want to include in Optimizer processing
2. Rename the New Item
The new feature will have a default name that includes its ID number. Use the edit icon (
) to rename.
Editing Features
You can edit the list or item with the following actions:
- Manually reorder items
- The Id number for each item is listed
- Edit the Name of the item
- Check or uncheck the Active status
- The Abridged checkbox controls if the item is only visible on an abridged list for users with limited permissions
- Check whether or not you want to include the feature for use in the Schedule25 Optimizer
- View the Usage of the item in events, searches, etc.
- Use the Report column to run the "Master Definition Usage - Excel" report to export usage information
- Delete the item (if it is not being used)
- Force Delete the item (even if it's being used) and remove all references (available only to Administrators in the (-1) security group)
Use Caution With Force Delete
The option to "force delete" a master definition item should be taken with care. Be advised that some searches may no longer function as expected until you edit them to remove references.
Tip: Manually Sorting Item Display Order
Animation: Drag the row to manually set the display order.
The default display order for master definition items is to show them in alphabetical order. You can set the order that items will display by clicking on the row and dragging up or down. Use the Save Sort button to save the order.
