Use Team Names > Manage Teams to manage teams and team members for future use.

A teamname object may contain all names in a given team, or a subset of those names. You can even combine members from different teams.

To manage teams...

1Open a teamname design and click the Team Names icon. By default all names are selected.

2To save a team for future use, click the Export Team Members icon in the Teamname List. The dialog will open onto a public folder containing all your teams – a single file, either TXT or CSV, for each team.

Tip: You can type in the names, or paste them in from a text file. Each name must be separated by a comma. There is no need for a space.

3Click OK. The new names are added to the Team Members list.

4Transfer names, selectively or all together, to the Teamname list using the arrow buttons. You can even transfer names from different teams to the same list.

5Edit the list as desired:

3Sort names alphabetically by column.

3Sequence names – this will determine their stitching order.

3Remove names from the list.

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.
