<p>The <strong>Roster Groups</strong> function allows you to take your entire roster and
categorize it. At home you might want to break it down by diesel vs. steam, or by railroad.
At a club it would be handy to have categories by member name in addition to any other
category you might think of. A roster entry can be associated with more than one group.
Again in a club environment, a roster entry could be associated with the Steam, Union
Pacific and John Member groups all at the same time. There is always one group present and
it is called Global. All the roster entries are in the Global Group.<br></p>

<h4>Association of roster entries to a Roster Group</h4>
<p>Once the groups are named, then you "associate" the roster entries with their group.
This can be done two ways.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>You can use the <strong>Associate Roster Entry to Group</strong> to select a group
and a roster entry. This method is best used when only a few associations need to be
made, like when a new loco has been added to the roster. Then you can concentrate on
the groups it belongs to.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>The other method is to use the <strong>Table Association</strong> selection. At the
top of the table you select the group you wish the roster entries to be associated
with, then the roster entries that you want to associate with that group.</p>
</li>
</ol>

<blockquote>
<p>Once the associations have been made, then you can select the Active Roster Group. Once
this is done then the Print and Print Summary actions will show only the roster entries
associated with that group. As an example you could select the Group <strong>Santa
Fe</strong> and only the roster entries in this Roster Group will be printed. The printout
does not currently show the active group in the header. The active group will also
influence any drop down box which has a list of entries in it, such as Throttle, edit
entry, copy, etc. Also, when adding a new roster entry it will automatically be associated
with the currently active group, so it is good practice when finishing working with a group
to return the active group to Global.</p>
<h4><strong><em><br>
Restoring Roster to include all Engines</em></strong>
</h4>
<p><br>
To return your roster to show all engines, <strong>Set Active Roster Group</strong> to
Global. Then you may be certain that you are working with all engines in your roster.</p>
