How to - Add a New Call

To add a new call to CSDS (such as an old call or experimental), you have to do 3 things:

  1. Add the call to the list database.
    1. Go to 'List | List database | Edit'.
    2. Select 'Edit | Add new record'.
    3. Enter information in the 'Enter new record' edit box.
      1. Put the call name in the 'Text' field.
      2. Select the appropriate 'Level' and 'Number of Dancers'.
      3. Modify the other fields as desired.
    4. Write down the number in the 'Handle' field.
    5. Click the 'Save' button.
    6. Close the window, and select "Y" to Save Changes.
     
  2. Add the call to the parse database.
    1. Go to 'Parse | Parse database | Edit'.
    2. Select 'Edit | Add new record'.
    3. Enter the call name within the 'Text string' field.
    4. Enter the Handle number (from the list database, step 1-d above) within the 'Handle list' field.
    5. Click the 'Save' button.
    6. Repeat steps b thru e for all possible spellings of the call.
    7. Close the window, and select "Y" to Save Changes.
     
  3. Add the call to the snapshot database.
    • This can best be accomplished by writing a sequence via 'Sequence | New sequence [graphics]'. Write the sequence and set up the call then try to do the call. A Call Not Found - Add It? window appears.
