Create teamname objects

TeamNames.png 

Use Toolbox or Docker > Team Names to associate multiple names with a design.

To associate team members with a design, you create a variable ‘teamname object’. Either key in the names of the team members directly, or import from a list provided by the customer.

To create a teamname object...

1Open the design you want to use.

Tip: When you import a teamname list you can import it from anywhere. However, you cannot use the Manage Teams dialog effectively with it unless it is saved in the ‘Teamname Teams’ system folder. See Managing teams for details.

6Click the Name Order button if you want to change the default naming order. Use it, for example, to put surnames first or limit which names are included – e.g first and third.
