Menus

Menu Reorganisation

The Details menu has been renamed to Data; Teams, Locations and Times are all accessed from one menu item and there is a new Modify menu with an additional entry:

Teams, Locations and Times

Add / Change / Delete

Click on Data > Teams, Locations and Times to display one convenient window with three separately sizeable sections. Each section contains a list of teams, locations or times. The lists are no longer restricted to row-by-row editing. They can be edited in the same way that you can edit a text file using Windows Notepad:

• items are added just by typing and pressing <enter> at the end of each item to start a new line
• multiple lines can be selected and deleted
• text can be copied / pasted to or from other Windows text files etc. etc. 

When you delete a team any corresponding entries in the Team Locations list is automatically deleted. Changing the position of a team in the list does not affect the Team Locations list but it will change the team matchups in the schedule.

When you add or delete a time, the Dates / Times calendar and schedule are automatically updated as well. Changing the position of a time in the list does not affect the calendar but it may change the times of games in an existing schedule depending on which Time option was used when the schedule was generated.

Modify

Click on Modify > Teams, Locations and Times when you want to rename teams or locations or substitute times after generating a schedule without altering any other aspect of the schedule. The new names and times are substituted wherever they occur.

Dates / Times Windows

The Dates / Times and Playing Days windows are combined into one convenient window with three separately sizeable sections.  

Schedule Generation

• 'Fair' location scheduling takes match times into account to lessen the possibility of double-booked locations. 
• It is no longer possible to assign times to particular teams.
• Double-booking of locations is detected and reported.
   

Miscellaneous

• The list of most recently used files under the File > Open menu automatically excludes files which have since been deleted.  
• An option allows you to specify the number of files that should be included in the most recently used list. Four is the default. Zero causes the list to be hidden.
• The default folder for schedule files is the Home or Away folder in the user's Documents folder.
• Optional large toolbars
• The main schedule window has a status bar with a convenient resizing grip.
• The team column width in Schedule Summary automatically resizes to accommodate the longest team name
