• Always in Square N - indicates the dancer will always be placed in square # N. Only one dancer in the rotation may have this attribute.

The value of N is set via Preferences - this Rotation.
• In N, Out M - means the dancer will be in (Ready to dance) for N tips in a row, then out (Absent) for M tips in a row. The program is smart enough to know that after a long break (e.g. a dinner break) to reset the dancer's "In" counter to zero.
