Managing pick lists

With every comic you add to your collection, CLZ Comics stores common information in Pick Lists. Examples of pick lists include series, series group, and storage box.

With the Manage Pick List screen, you can modify all pick list items. With it you can add, edit, delete and merge pick list items.

Example: you might want to delete a storage box that you are no longer using from your lists. For this, you can use the manage Pick List tool.

How to add, edit, merge or remove pick list items:

You can add/edit/merge or remove pick list items. Pick what you wish to do:

• Adding a new pick list item
• Editing a pick list item
• Merging pick list items
• Removing pick list items

Where do I find the Manage Pick List screen?

You can find the Manage Pick List screen everywhere pick lists are involved:

• Using Folders in the main screen: look for the little list/pencil icon top right.
• Editing a comic: tap on any pick list field (such as Series or Storage Box) and tap on “Manage..” button top right
• Directly from the app menu top right (look for “Manage Pick Lists”)

When do I use the Manage Pick Lists screen?

Below are some example situations to help you understand when you can use this screen to fix issues with certain Pick List fields.

Use it when series aren’t sorting correctly:

It can happen that you add an issue or an entire series to your collection, but the series doesn’t sort correctly in your list of series.
The Manage Pick Lists screen can help you sort that out: Use it to find the series title and change its Sort Name. This will immediately affect all issues that have that same series title filled in and re-sort the series list correctly

Use it to fix duplicate series or a bad-spelled series in your list:

Perhaps you’re adding an issue from a series that you already have an issue or more cataloged from, but due to a slight spelling mistake or difference in sort names you end up with 2 (seemingly the same) versions of that series title in your list of series. The Manage Pick List screen allows you to find the 2 series and merge them into 1 series.

!Any pick list item that you change will affect all comics that use that value. For instance: you can change the spelling of an “owner” name in Manage Pick Lists, which then instantly modifies all comics in your database that have that same owner name. Also, each comic that has that value in it will be marked up for a change when you sync with CLZ Cloud.
