ARC500 Scanlist Move Feature Not Working As Expected
There are no issues with moving scanlists in the ARC500 software. Just make sure you are in the object browser and not in scanlist preview mode.
This is a bit of an oversimplification of the issue. I too ran into the same problem as the others in this thread, and I also tried your instructions, and still had issues -- again, as others were.
So I did a little trial and error to discover the root cause. I think you would do well to listen to your users, by the way, when they say something isn't working as it should.
In this case, there is simply no reason why you cannot be in the Scanlist Preview mode and use the Move Scanlist feature -- it just wasn't coded that way. Worse, not only do you have to be in the Object Browser but you also have to be specifically in the Conventional or Talkgroup headings when you use the Move Scanlist feature... and when you do, only that type of object will be moved from one list to another. If you're moving a scanlist which has both conventional and talkgroup objects in it, you will have to go to Conventional first, then move the scanlist, then go to talkgroup, then move the scanlist again, in order to move all the objects from one list to another.
In my opinion, this feature is a mess. It also leaves behind the old scanlist name when you choose move, which is sort of useless.
It would be very much simpler if it worked as users are expressing - from the scanlist preview mode, moving or copying all the objects at once (conventional and talkgroups), and in the case of a move, have the ability to move the name and erase the old name.
