If the option was previously enabled (indicated by a tick mark) it will become disabled. If it was disabled, it will become enabled (indicated by a tick mark).

3.3.4 Inserting into the voting list

Once you have created a voting, it should be inserted into the current script file. A list of currently present votings in the current script file (if any) is shown on the right hand side of the window. To insert a voting:

Click on the arrow-shaped ‘Insert’ push button.

i Note

The voting will always be inserted at the end of the voting list.

If the voting list contains a voting with the same voting number as one being inserted, a warning message with the following text is displayed:

‘A Voting already exists with number #. Do you want to overwrite?’

Click on the ‘Ok’ push button to continue inserting and to overwrite the existing voting.

i Note

If you select a voting in the voting list, it is possible to delete it using the ‘Delete’ push button.

3.3.5 Editing existing votings

It is possible to edit existing votings from the currently open script file. The procedure for editing

an existing voting is almost identical to that for creating a new voting. The only differences are that you must recall the voting you wish to edit from the voting list, and therefore the edit fields are not necessarily empty. The specifying of voting number, name and kind, voting subject and results display, and the insertion into the voting list is carried out as for creating a new voting. To enter new information into fields that already contain an entry, simply type over the existing entry or delete it first and then enter the new information. It is not possible to edit a voting that has already been voted on, though it can be deleted. For more details, see page 11

To select a voting for editing:

Click on the voting in the voting list.

Click on the arrow-shaped ‘Recall’ push button.

The details of the selected voting will appear in the ‘Number’, ‘Name’, ‘Kind’ and ‘Subject’ text fields.

Search

This option allows you to conduct a search for a particular voting in the current script file. The ‘Search’ facility is located at the bottom right of the Preparation window. There are two ‘Search’ radio buttons, a ‘Search’ push button and a list box.

You can specify whether the search is conducted by voting name or number. The current search mode is indicated by a black circle in the appropriate radio button, located under the text ‘Search’. To choose the other mode:

Click on the radio button without the black circle.

A black circle will appear in the newly selected radio button. Any searches will be conducted using this mode.

You can specify a particular voting to search for by entering the voting details in the text box situated under the ‘Search’ push button. If ‘Numbers’ has been specified for the search, you may only enter up to four digits.

If ‘Names’ has been specified, the maximum number of characters allowed is the maximum length of the voting name. To search for a voting:

Type the details of the required voting in the text box.

Click on the ‘Search’ push button.

Once the search is completed, the list box displays all entries corresponding to the input details. You can
