Conversion of Manual Lists

The SI Editor's Ordered List adheres to the alternating alpha-numeric sequence and format with the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard UFC 1-300-02, Table A-1.

This conversion process aims to optimize list formatting by replacing manual lists that use LST and ITM tags with automatically generated Ordered Lists with alphanumeric numbering, wherever possible.

Illustration Icon Indicating Important Information To NoteTo learn more about converting a manual Ordered List, see the Process menu > Convert Manual Lists to Order Automatically topic.

Illustration Icon Indicating CautionIt is essential to have the most recent SpecsIntact version installed before initiating the conversion process. To check the installed software version, refer to the Help menu > About SpecsIntact.

Conversion Limitations

While the conversion process aims to transform LST and ITM-based lists into ordered lists, certain limitations may prevent some lists from being converted successfully. These exceptions include:

Alpha-Numeric Ordered Lists

The multi-level alpha-numeric list will be surrounded by the Ordered List Group (OLG) tag, followed by four levels of Ordered List (OLI) tags.  These lists will automatically re-letter, renumber, and ensure proper word wrapping for each level.
