duplicate index

Post by d26818 »

I created an index CSV and bulk uploaded it, then I discovered that the page numbers were incorrect.
I corrected the CSV and re-uploaded it\
now I have duplicate index entries (incorrect and correct) for each song
I do not see a way to delete an index. How can I correct my screwup?

Using the Content Manager you can delete the index entries.

I see the "delete" button under "Manage Indexes" however it doesn't delete the entry. Am I looking in the wrong place?
the index I'm looking to delete is "rintros"

You have to delete the song entries before you can delete the index.
Once you've created the book entry, you can now create the song entries for the index by selecting "Song Titles" from the menu and then selecting "Add New". Enter the Song Title, Composer, Page Number, select the Book Index and enter the number of Pages for the song and select "Add" to add it to your custom book. Repeat this process to complete the index.

Maybe I found a bug. even after deleting all the songs it still won't let me delete the index

the one in question is rintros

For now I have solved the problem by renaming the pdf/index

No you didn't find a bug. You didn't delete all of the song entries.

I don't want to beat a dead horse but when I go to the "Index song titles" menu and filter for "rintro" I see no songs
but when I go to the "book indexes" menu and try to delete it it pops up the confirmation dialog I confirm but the entry is still present.

Maybe I created by some confusion by renaming "rintros" to intros"?
I have attached a video (animated gif) showing my confusion.

btw Love the product, use it daily. I'm a working bass player that does > 350 gigs a year.

The filtering mechanism for this screen is at the top right. You select "FakebookID" from the first pull down menu, which populates the second pull down menu with the name of the indexes that you have created. Selecting "Filter It!" displays only the songs for the index selected. (refer to the screen capture I initially posted)

The search function for this screen is at the bottom right. Searching isn't filtering and you're searching for text that does not appear in the list of song titles. Since this screen isn't filtered (refer to the screen capture I initially posted) you're looking at all of the song titles for all of the indexes you have created.
