Rearranging the order of the list of Subselector rules

The order of subselector rules on the Sub Selection Rules panel is important. Subselector rules should be listed in specific-to-general order. If a specific rule occurs after a generic rule, the more specific rule will not be processed. Therefore, ensure that your most specific subselector rules appear at the top of the list. When Output Manager scans the list of subselector rules from top to bottom to find a match, it will evaluate the more specific subselector rules first.

To rearrange the order of subselector rules in the Subselector Rules list panel:

  1. From the Output Manager main menu, choose option A, Administrative Functions, and press Enter.
  2. From the Administrative Functions menu, choose option S, Selector Rules, and press Enter.
  3. Specify search criteria, or leave the fields blank, and press Enter.
    The resulting list is filtered by your search criteria.
  4. In the CMD column, type SS (Subselector rules) next to the selector rule that contains the subselector rule that you want to edit, and press Enter.
  5. Specify search criteria, or leave the fields blank, and press Enter.
    The resulting list is filtered by your search criteria.
  6. In the CMD column, type M (Move) next to the subselector rule that you want to move, and press Enter. A message appears stating that the move operation is pending.
  7. In the CMD column, type A (After) next to the subselector rule that you want to precede the rule you are moving, and press Enter. The moved rule appears in the list after the cursor.
  8. Press F3 (Exit).

    Depending on how you set your preferences, you may be prompted to type YES and press Enter to save your changes.
