SI Editor Ordered List - Overview

This command can be executed from the Explorer's Process menu.

Conversion of Manual Lists

The SI Editor's Ordered List is designed to use the alternating alpha-numeric sequence and format in accordance with the Unified Facilities Guide Specsifications (UFGS) Format Standard UFC 1-300-02, Table A-1.

The conversion process will transform as many manual lists that use the LST and ITM tags as possible to use ordered lists, which will then use the automatic alpha-numeric list.

Before converting, all SpecsIntact users must have SpecsIntact v5.3 or newer. Do not convert your Local Masters or Jobs unless all affected users have upgraded. To learn more about converting Masters or Jobs to use the Ordered Lists, refer to the SI Explorer's Process menu > Convert Manual Lists to Order Automatically topic.

To learn more about converting manual Ordered List, see the Process menu Convert Manual Lists to Order Automatically topic.

Lists that will not convert

• Lists that do not adhere to UFC 1-300-02 format.
• Lists with tags that begin within the list and end outside it.
• Lists with tags that begin outside the list and end within it.
• Lists with unusual brackets, tagging, or other content.

Alpha-Numeric Ordered Lists

The multi-level alpha-numeric list will be surrounded by the Ordered List Group (OLG) tag, followed by a series of up to four levels of Ordered List (OLI) tags.  Not only will the list re-letter and renumber automatically but each level will also word wrap correctly for each level.

Using this Feature

To Insert An Automatic Alpha-Numeric Ordered List:

1. From the SI Editor's Tagsbar, select the Ordered List button

To Manage additional Alpha-Numeric Ordered List Levels:

1. The cursor must be positioned at the end of the text, prior to the ending OLI tag

2. Press the Enter key followed by F2 to insert the last tag used, this will continue the same level numbering.
3. To increase the alpha-numeric list level place cursor between the OLI tags and press the tab key

4. To decrease the alpha-numeric list level place cursor between the OLI tags press Shit+tab

Keep in mind that once you have moved outside of the Ordered List and insert new tags, the F2 Key, will insert the last tag used.  When you return to re-edit an Ordered List you will need to re-select the Ordered List button on the SI Editor's Tagsbar or copy and paste the OLI Item above, and then delete the existing text.  This will reapply the list structure for you to continue editing.
