Custom Checklists

The predefined checklists can be customized by editing the definition files. The definition files are stored in the VideoRay\CheckLists\ folder, which can be found in the computer account user's application data folder (Users\username\AppData\Local\ for Windows 7, or Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\ for Windows XP). Checklist definitions are store as simple text files. The file format is one checklist item per line.

The computer account user's application data folder may be hidden, which will require that you enable "Show hidden files and folders."

The file names of the predefined checklist are:

Checklist	File Name
Pre-Dive	Pre-dive.txt
Post Dive	Post-dive.txt
Scheduled Maintenance	Scheduled Maintenance.txt

You might want to preserve the original checklist by copying it to a file with the .bak extension before editing it.

Creating New Checklists

New checklists can also be created and all checklists can be processed using the included stand-alone checklist application without having to run VideoRay Cockpit. This allows you to create your own operational or equipment checklists.

To create a new checklist, create a text file with the desired checklist items. For example, a sample remote operations equipment checklist file might have the following contents:

Generator
Gas
Pop-up Tent
Folding Table
Folding Chairs

The above lines should be stored as a text file with the .clf extension, such as remote_equip.clf. The file can be stored in any location.

To activate the checklist, double click on it. The results will be stored in the same location as the standard checklists VideoRay\Checklists\, which can be found in the computer account user's documents folder (Documents\ for Windows 7, or My Documents\ for Windows XP).
