Editing and Formatting
#1
Reordering Tables
My Key Events, Relationships, etc. are out of order in my summary table.  How do I reorder the table rows to match the order in my AOP?
When logged in with author privileges, this can be done on the viewing page without the need to click the edit button.  Simply click and drag the row to the desired location within the table then release the click to place the row in the new location.  You will see the other rows shift as you move the selected row up and down in the table and a flash of yellow as the row settles into the new location.

Editing Tables From Original Wiki
How do I edit tables that were created in the original wiki?
In this case, you have two options.  If you would like to keep the original wiki table and format, you can simply cut the table out of the text field (Ctrl-X or Scissors icon in the formatting bar) and paste the whole table into Microsoft Word or another HTML compatible word processor. Note that if the table is the only text in the text field, the easiest way to select the table is by pressing Ctrl-A to select the whole text field.  You can do this even if other text exists in the field, you will just need to remember to include the extra text when you put the revised table back into the wiki in the next step.  You can then edit the table as desired in the word processing program. After you complete your edits, you cut the whole table and paste (Ctrl-V or the first clipboard option in the formatting bar) the table back into the text field on the wiki.

MySQL Error
What does the following error message mean when trying to enter text?
MySQL Error: Make sure that '[column name here]' doesn't have any special characters.
This occurs sometimes when trying to paste special characters from Word documents. The problem is caused by the character encoding not being recognized by the database that holds the wiki information. The most common examples we've found have been greek letters.  Often, you can find another option in Word to get the same greek letter that will be compatible. Alternatively, you can delete the character in Word and insert the symbol using the text editor in the wiki itself.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

The largest free-text entry fields carry a ~60k character limit.  Please also consider whether or not you're nearing this limit when troubleshooting a MySQL error.

Changing the Author Status
How do I change the author status for my AOP?
The author status is actually changed on the same page where you edit the text boxes, so you first have to click the blue Edit in the set of buttons in the top right.

Once you’re on the edit page, the dropdown for the status is just below the author text box.

We understand that this may be confusing because both the contributor list and the point of contact are modified directly on the main page for the AOP.  The author status will likely move to that page as well in the near future.

Page Display Too Small When Viewing Snapshots
When viewing my PDF snapshot, the text is too small to see. How do I fix it?
Some users may experience an issue when viewing the pdf version of a snapshot, where the pdf downloads but the text is too small to view. This is being caused by an error with preformatted text. To avoid this issue, the author should remove any preformatted text (viewable in the snapshot as a line of text going all the way across the page) from their AOP.

Internet Explorer
Why do some of the buttons in the wiki not work when I click them?
The implementation of the tools for adding key events, key event relationships, stressors, etc. to AOP pages requires modern web browsers to function properly.  Unfortunately, these are not compatible with the Internet Explorer, which is no longer under active development and is being replaced by the new Edge browser developed by Microsoft. We apologize for the incovenience, but the added capabilities were deemed substantial enough to break the backward compatibility with this browser.  Each AOP-Wiki release is tested using the Chrome, Firefox, and Edge browsers, and we have had no reports of issues using the Safari browser on MacOS.  Please try one of these browsers if you are having trouble with Internet Explorer.  Note that the issues are specific to certain author functions.  The ability to view content and comment on the information in the AOP-Wiki should work in Internet Explorer.
