Managing Pick Lists

With every album you add to your collection, CLZ Music stores common information in Pick Lists. Examples of pick lists include Genre, Format, Location, Owner, etc.

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

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 artists aren’t sorting correctly:

It can happen that you add an album from an artist to your collection, but the artist doesn’t sort correctly in your list of artists.
The Manage Pick Lists screen can help you sort that out: Use it to find the artist and change his/her Display Name and Sort Name. This will immediately affect all other albums that use the same artist.

Use it to fix duplicate artists or a bad spelled artist in your list:

Perhaps you’re adding an album from an artist that you already have an album cataloged from, but due to a slight spelling mistake, you now have 2 versions of that artist in your list of artists. The Manage Pick List screen allows you to find the 2 artists and merge them into 1 artist.

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

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
