    Hi Karl, I presume you are meaning more options on this dialog?

    In particular where it says 'Type' you want something like 'Type (reverse)'. That creates a lot of permutations.. Which permutation(s) are you particularly interested in?

    Matt.

    Hi Matthew,

     

    Yes, something along the lines of "Type (reverse)" is what I am after. For the "a lot of permutations" comment, are you talking about things like "Src" Type (reverse) "Dest"?

     

    Our need is (at the moment) just to have "Type (reverse)" in this list. However, if I was to wish freely, I would like a better way of creating naming conventions, possibly by being able to combine a set of tags freely, those tags being:

    • Name
    • Source
    • Destination
    • Type
    • Type (reverse)
    • "Free form text" (e.g. for creating blank spaces and/or other separating characters)

    The dialog would need some reworking and possibly the same concept would need be applied to all of the above naming conventions. The way I see it, this would benefit us in what we display and how and you in that adding new tags would probably be easier, than adding options ad infinitum to satisfy singular client needs as they arise...

     

    Makes sense?

    Yeah that's the kind of thing I was thinking of too. Akin to the existing formatting dialogs we have e.g. dates:
