Modifying a Character

As the name implies, you use this option to make changes to an existing character. Name changes, promotions, demotions, and department switches are handled here. Plus the switch to Crewman, as mentioned in the previous lesson. If you need to AWOL a player, you change the rank to AWOL. More on the AWOL process is found in Lesson 108.

Modify an existing Character Page

Select the character you wish to modify from the drop down menu and fill in the fields that you wish to change, as described in lesson 104.

You'll notice the (spoooooooned) part in the example. This is the WeBB's way of acknowledging a custom position. If you make ANY changes to a custom position, be sure to tick the override box. Otherwise, the entry will get scrambled.

Always go to the main Admin menu after you finish one change if you intend to do another one. After modifying a character, the drop down list order can change, which will not be seen if you just clicked the back button to get to the previous page.
