Why won't my venire list print?

Check the control date on the names you are trying to print.  Be sure you are putting the exact same date in the information screen for the venire list.  It should now print.

When I try to add a name to a jury panel,  it does not bring up the name.

Look up the name in question under Reports, Name Index List and look for the control date in the bottom right of the screen.  Then, back to the Jury Selection menu, go under Other Maintenance, Control File, and make sure the control dates you see are including the control date you just saw on the Name Index List.  If not, you will need to change the control date range.

My Jury labels are not lining up correctly, what do I need to do?

How do I print a venire list?

Under Jury, go to 4. Reports and select either Venire list civil or criminal. Fill in the requested information, then select "File", not "print", and enter the printer path for the printer you are using. The most common printer paths are the following:

If your printer number is "01", type /dev/lp0

If it is "02", type /dev/tty1a

If it is "03", type /dev/tty2a

I am finished with the jury panels that are in my jury software. How do I remove these names?

Before running the Clean up name file option, please make sure you will not be needing these names again, because they will be deleted completely from your name index. You will find the Clean Up Name File under number two, Name Index in the Jury Selection software. Since you will be entering a control date to purge by, you may want to scroll the Name Index List (under number four, B-Name Index List) to find one of the names you are wanting to delete and look down in the right hand corner to find the control date.
