The information in this Wiki Page applies to both TANE and TRS19 and will show you how to create a Picklist in TRS19 or TANE (both programs use identical methods).

Both programs provide you with two different methods of creating Picklists, using either Content Manager (or Manage Content from the TANE/TRS19 Launcher) or in Surveyor.

Using Content Manager (CM)

Steps.PNG Step 1: Select the assets

From the TRS19 or TANE Launcher
  1. select Manage Content
  2. (optional step) in Content Manager select a filter or create a custom filter to show the assets you want in the Picklist
  3. use the left mouse button and either the Ctrl or Shift key to click on each asset that is to be added to the Picklist

  1. right mouse click on any one of the highlighted assets
  2. select Add to Picklist from the popup menu
  3. select either:-
  1. an existing Picklist (if any) to add the assets to that Picklist, or
  2. New Picklist to create a new list

DotPoint.JPG Each asset is automatically saved to the Picklist when it is "dropped" or "clicked" into the Picklist window
DotPoint.JPG If an added asset does not appear in the window, then it usually means that the asset is already present in the list
DotPoint.JPG To remove an asset from the Picklist simply drag it out of the Picklist window onto the Surveyor screen
