When you add Mass Schedule information, sometimes it's easier to copy the same information from the previous line you added. For example, you may have several Saturday Masses that occur in the same place but at different times.

However, this may not always be helpful to you. So, to let you decide what's best, we added an option! To copy from the previous line, select Repeat Mass Information before adding a new line in the grid. Otherwise, clear the option to start with a blank line.

If you're familiar with Additional Selections, you know you can gather records with a certain field value that is either in a list or not in a list. For example, you could add a condition for Fac.Abbr is in list Rm 101,Rm 102,Rm 107,Rm 108, and the selection would gather facility records where the abbreviation is Rm 101, Rm 102, Rm 107, or Rm 108. This requires you to enter the list in the condition, which is fine for a short list, like in our example. But what if you have a long list or a list that you pulled from outside of PDS? Now, in your condition, you can point to a CSV file to search inside of.

Let's say you have a CSV with 100 lines of facility abbreviations, and you want to run the List of Facilities report for only these abbreviations.

• Instead of typing out all 100 abbreviations in the condition, you can enter "<" and the file path of the CSV file.

  

• When you run the report using this condition, it only prints the facilities whose abbreviations are listed in the CSV file.

  

What about CSV files with multiple columns? In that case, you just need to specify the column to search.

• So if the abbreviation is in the third column, your condition would include the file name, a comma, and the column number.
