Component list
Import a component with least clicks
alias: gather often used components, favourites
The character of a list is to import a certain component with as few clicks as possible to your schematic. So it is neccessary to assign a favorized part to a certain list and make this list a tab in your browser view. Immediately you have your favourites in front of your eyes.
Every component can be member of one or more individual lists. For example the list "My favourite Operational Amps" or the list: "Parts for Radio, TV, Phono" or "Peter's parts" oder "The parts for the stepmotor project" and so on. Parts can get listed according to the free choice of the user and thus made being at hand quickly. Parts don't get copied to such a list physically but only get linked to it.
By default TARGET brings along some lists. You will find them at the end of the list of the component groups on the bottom of the left edge of screen.(click on the image to enlarge)

Your favourite OpAmp AD8099ARD is now accessible on two clicks: select the tab, select the part.
How to create a new list
A new (individual) list can only be created by assigning a certain part to it. So if the list does not exist yet, you get asked whether to create it. Give the list a name in the appearing dialog. This is the moment when a new list is born. It is not possible to create a list while it is empty.
How to delete an existing list
see menu Extras/Component/Edit component/-package list
Select the list to be deleted and press the button (arrow). All assignments are deleted too. No fear: no part will be deleted.
How to assign a certain component to a certain list
In the main view of the component browser click on the name of the part by the right mousekey (M2). On the bottom of the appearing context menu select the desired list or create a new list.
How to turn back an assignment?
The membership of a part to one or more lists is denoted in the component browser by a tick at the lists name. If you take away the tick by mousclick the assignment is released. At this point it is shown to how many lists the part is assigned (number of ticks).
