Saving a List

When you have the List Records window open, it includes buttons for “Save This List” and “Apply Saved List.”

These save Lists correspond to the Saved Lists from the menu in the left hand column.

List characteristics can be saved there and reapplied to other review files, the same as save sorts or exports.
