Datasheets and PDF

The datasheet in area D

When the window is wide enough, a fourth area stands to the right of the army list. Click a row of the list there: area D shows its datasheet under Datasheet. The X at the top right clears the mark again. To edit, the pencil in the row opens the unit detail.

1. The army list; a click on a row marks it.
2. Area D shows the datasheet of the marked row.

In a narrower window there is no area D. The datasheet then stands in the unit detail beside the options, see Add and configure units. On a fixed list such as a Combat Patrol, the datasheet of the marked unit stands to the right of its units.

What a datasheet shows

• Categories / keywords: the unit's keywords, in alphabetical order.
• Models: which models make up the unit and what they carry, for example “20x Warrior w/ gauss flayer: Close combat weapon, Gauss flayer”.
• Units: only on a row that carries further units inside it; the line names them.
• Characteristics: the unit's stat line, one block per kind of profile.
• Weapons and abilities: ranged and melee weapons, abilities and other profiles as tables.

When several models carry the same profile, it stands once, with a count behind its name: “Gauss flayer (x20)” means twenty models wield that weapon. Abilities and orders are not counted. What the unit has not chosen, the datasheet does not show.

Datasheets as a PDF

1. In the open list, choose Datasheets. The layer Datasheets (PDF) opens.
2. On the left are the list's datasheets, all ticked. Untick what should stay out of the PDF; Select all switches them all at once. If a unit stands in the list more than once, its datasheet appears only once, with “×3” behind the name for three alike.
3. In the middle the preview shows the pages of the PDF as they will print; the arrows turn the pages.
4. On the right, under Styling, you set template and colours, see below.
5. Choose Export as PDF and where to save it. The PDF then opens.

1. Which datasheets go into the PDF.
2. Styling: template and colours.
3. “Export as PDF” saves the file.

The PDF is A4. A fixed or read-only list can be printed this way too.

Templates and colours

Under Template stand the built-in colour sets Slate, Ink, Crimson, Steel blue and Parchment, with your own ones before them. Below, each colour can be set on its own as a hex value such as #708090: banner and its text, table header and its text, border and body text. The preview follows your changes.

1. Set the colours, starting from a template.
2. Type a name into the name field. If the colours differ from the chosen template, Colours differ from the template stands above it.
3. Choose Save. The template then stands at the top of the list.

123

1. The name of your own template.
2. “Save” creates or overwrites it.
3. “Delete” removes one of your own templates; for a built-in one the button is greyed out.

• Changing your own template: With one of your own templates chosen, its name stands in the field and the button reads Save changes. A new name renames it.
• Same name: If the name matches another template of your own, the application asks whether to overwrite it. The names of the built-in ones are taken.
• Delete: After the question the template is gone, and selection and colours jump back to Slate.
• Remembered: The colours of the last export are there again the next time you open the layer.
