Matrix labels are grid headings that can be added to improve the appearance of the grid
and to enable the registrant to easily locate events. They are especially useful for large
registration grids.
How to Make a Matrix Label
- Go to Edit > Preferences
- Click on "Step 1" in the navigation menu on the left side of the screen:
- Half-way down the page you will see these settings:
- Set 'Step 1 Event Matrix Enabled?' to 'Yes' and click on
 . To make the matrix column headings
- To create a label, enter the following settings:
| Order |
Determine the order you want your Matrix Label to appear. These labels
follow the same order as the Event Order in the Event Definition section. Note that if
your first event order is “10” and you order the Heading for this section as “10” the
heading will always proceed the event name in the grid if the same event order number is
used. |
| Label |
The 'Label' field simply contains the text of the heading you'd like to insert.
Now, this is where a little bit of HTML knowledge comes in handy. For example, if I
were simply to type 'Aquatics' in the 'Label' field and press 'Add', the label would appear
on the grid, but it would only be plain black text. Chances are you'd like to make it
bigger, maybe bold it, or add some color, etc. To do these things, you have to use HTML
commands. For more information on HTML commands and text formatting, see Text Formatting |
