Association of roster entries to a Roster Group

Once the groups are named, then you “associate” the roster entries with their group. This can be done two ways.

  1. You can use the Associate Roster Entry to Group to select a group and a roster entry. This method is best used when only a few associations need to be made, like when a new loco has been added to the roster. Then you can concentrate on the groups it belongs to.

  2. The other method is to use the Table Association selection. At the top of the table you select the group you wish the roster entries to be associated with, then the roster entries that you want to associate with that group.

Once the associations have been made, then you can select the Active Roster Group. Once this is done then the Print and Print Summary actions will show only the roster entries associated with that group. As an example you could select the Group Santa Fe and only the roster entries in this Roster Group will be printed. The printout does not currently show the active group in the header. The active group will also influence any drop down box which has a list of entries in it, such as Throttle, edit entry, copy, etc. Also, when adding a new roster entry it will automatically be associated with the currently active group, so it is good practice when finishing working with a group to return the active group to Global.


Restoring Roster to include all Engines


To return your roster to show all engines, Set Active Roster Group to Global. Then you may be certain that you are working with all engines in your roster.
