using SDS200, ProScan paid V23.5, RRDB subscriber.

Is there a key shortcut to avoid a channel, dept. or system etc. in ProScan while using the Favorites editor or is it necessary to click avoid on each channel?

In the ProScan Favorites editor is there a way to avoid a system? or is it necessary to avoid each individual Channel, Dept. Also my avoided Systems does not show up red - I want to believe it used to show red on an avoided system?

Last - weeding out my favorites list. I History logged for 2 days and have got 51 different channel hits that I would like to turn into a favorites list, which is a lot leaner than my original list. I am not seeing a way to take my logged history and turn it into a new favorites list. And or is there an easier way to tell ProScan - I want my logged history to be my favorites list?
Not sure if it is the right way to go but - I do see a move or "copy or move to a new database" on the right of the scanner window but when confronted with the select "system type option" I am flummoxed as my 51 history logged are all different systems and it wants me to pick "a" system

Thanks for any help or guidance-

If you have more than one channel in the same department you wish to avoid at the same time, place a check in the first box you wish to avoid then hold down the control key while clicking the rest of the avoid fields you wish to avoid. Go back to the first entry and right-click its Avoid checkbox. Now left-click choosing "Fill down" and this should place a check in every field you selected. Same concept applies to avoiding more than one department in the same system, more than one system in the same FL, etc

In the ProScan Favorites editor is there a way to avoid a system?
Also my avoided Systems does not show up red - I want to believe it used to show red on an avoided system?
First, in the left column expand the Favorites list containing the system you want to avoid then highlight said system. Move to right column and choose "System Options" tab. Place a check in the Avoid checkbox then the system should appear red in the left-column

Yes, use the Copy/Move Selected Rows to Database function. Select just the rows that you want to import into a new system. Perhaps sort the grid by the Favorite/System/Site so they all will be together. Only one system at a time. It looks like that area could be improved upon since the system type is already known and logged.

Thank you - didn't mean to cause you extra work ;-)
just so I got it - sort the history - and "move" one system per move - repeat as necessary

Thank you !
