Ringside Rally: AKC Edition
Lists
A list is a saved set of signs that you can practice as a group. The app includes one built-in list, Favorites, which is always present. On the free version, Favorites is the only list available. Pro adds the ability to create and manage additional lists.
When you open the Lists tab, you’ll see a grid of all the signs in your currently active list. To switch lists, tap the list name shown at the top of the screen. A sheet slides up showing all your lists, with the active one highlighted in blue and a checkmark next to it. Tap any list name to make it the active one.
Tap any sign in the grid to open its details. From there, chevron buttons let you move forward and backward through the signs in your list without going back to the grid. It’s a handy way to review each sign in order before a session.
One list (Favorites), holding up to 8 signs.
Up to 25 lists, with up to 40 signs in each.
The Lists screen, showing the current list and its signs.
There are two ways to add signs to the current list:
- On the Lists screen, tap the + button to open the sign picker, then tap any sign to add it to the current list.
- From the Signs tab, tap the heart on a sign, or press and hold a sign in the list, then choose the destination list. This is described in the Signs guide.
When a list reaches its limit (8 signs on free Favorites, 40 on a Pro list), it will not accept more signs until some are removed.
The + button opens a picker for adding signs to the current list.
The order of signs in a list is the order they appear in a Practice session.
- Reorder: drag a sign to a new position within the list.
- Remove a sign: while dragging, drop the sign onto the trash icon that appears.
- Clear the list: tap CLEAR in the toolbar to remove all signs from the current list. This does not delete the list itself.
Drag to reorder, or drop a sign on the trash icon to remove it.
The current list name appears at the top of the screen with a ▾ marker. Selecting it opens the list menu, where you can:
- Switch lists: tap a list name to make it the current list.
- Create a list: tap New List, enter a name, and save.
- Rename a list: select the rename action next to a list and edit its name.
- Delete a list: select the delete action next to a list. All signs in that list are removed.
A few rules apply: list names must be unique, and at least one list must always exist, so the final remaining list cannot be deleted.
The list menu: switch between lists, or create, rename, and delete them.
Ways to organize your lists
Custom lists can be organized in whatever way suits your training. Common approaches include:
- By trial or course: build a list from a course map to rehearse a specific run.
- By skill: group the signs that train a particular skill, such as fronts and finishes or pivots.
- By dog: keep a separate list for each dog you are handling.
When the current list contains at least one sign, a play button appears. Selecting it starts a Practice session using that list. See the Practice guide for details on running a session.
