Is there a way to batch edit my favorites list?
For example, I have a whole bunch in a system that is set to DELAY 2 Secs
I want to change all of them to 1 sec or 0 secs but i have to individually do each one.
I was wondering if there is a batch edit mode and if not, can one be implemented in future release
Sure, this can be done in Sentinel.
Set one frequency (probably the first one in the group would be the best choice).
After you set that one, and go back to the list, it should still be selected. (You would see a faint line around the changed delay setting. If not selected, then click once, with your mouse, to turn the delay setting blue (highlighted).
Press the
<CTRL> key +
<C> to copy the setting to the Windows clipboard. (You could also use a <RIGHT> mouse click and then select "Copy" from the pop-up menu.)
Now, with that one selected, scroll to the bottom frequency in the range that you want to change.
While holding down on the
<Shift> key, click on the last entry to change. That would select all the channels (or talkgroups) from the first to the last. If you wanted to select channels (or talkgroups) that are not in a contiguous list, or de-select one or more in a long list, hold down the
<CTRL> key & click individual lines to select or de-select.
Now, with the channels you wish to change all selected, press the <CTRL> key plus
<V> to paste the setting you copied to the clipboard from the first one. (Using the mouse, you'd just
<Right> click then choose
Copy from the pop-up mouse window.) That will change all the lines selected to the new delay setting.
You can do the same batch update for other settings, such as alert color, audio type (analog, or a specific digital flavor, i.e. P25, DMR, or NXDN), along with the NAC, PL/CTCSS tone, or Color Code.
