Information valid from AMI version 8.0 initial release
Summary
The Working List gadget provides a quick way to create a collection of objects to work with. A list of object IDs or object names can be entered into the text area, allowing those objects to be added as children to a selected object in the List structure.
Basic Options
Filter by Object Type
Optionally filter your list to only include objects of a certain type.
List Elements as
Specify whether your list contains object IDs or object names.
Delimiter
Specify which character or characters divide up the elements of your list. The comma character is selected by default. Note that there is also a 'Use whitespace' checkbox, which when checked will treat any tabs or newlines (but not spaces) in the list as delimiter characters, allowing you to copy and paste cell values from applications such as third-party spreadsheets.
List of Objects
Enter your list of object IDs or object names here.
Apply Selected Results To List
The Working List Gadget allows you to manipulate lists in a few different ways. In this section of the interface you can specify what AMI should do with the objects you have entered.
List
Choose an existing object in the List structure to operate on. Selecting 'New...' will allow you to add a new object in the List structure and apply your objects to that new list object.
Copy Descendants?
If this checkbox is set, descendants of the objects are also added to the target list.

- Remove: If present, remove your objects from the children of the selected list object.
- Replace: Remove all of the existing children of the selected list object, and replace them with your objects.
- Intersect: Any children of the selected list object which are also present in your list of IDs or names will be preserved, but all other children will be removed.
