# Create and Manage Lists

Many HPE IDOL Speech Server tasks require you to send an action that includes a list of words or files. For example, the `LanguageModelBuild` task requires a list of training text files. HPE IDOL Speech Server has a list manager that allows you to easily create and manage lists.

NOTE:

You can also create a list in a text file on a drive that the server can access, instead of using the list manager.

## Create and Edit Lists

You first create a list in the list manager, and then populate it by sending each list entry as a separate action. You can delete individual entries or the entire list.

To create a list

- Send the `AddList` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameter:

  `Key` | The list name. The name must consist only of characters included in the Portable Character Set.

  HPE IDOL Speech Server creates a new list with the specified key.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=AddList&Key=TrainingText

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to create a new list called `TrainingText`.

To add a list entry

- Send the `AddListLine` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameters:

  `Key` | The list name.
  `Line` | The list entry to add.

  HPE IDOL Speech Server adds the list entry to the list with the specified key.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=AddListLine&Key=TrainingText&Line=T:\Data\testFile.txt

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to add the entry `T:\Data\testFile.txt` to the `TrainingText` list.

To delete a list entry

- Send the `DelListLine` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameters:

  `Key` | The list name.
  `Line` | The list entry to delete.
  `Once` (optional) | Set to `True` to delete all instances of the entry in the list.

  HPE IDOL Speech Server returns the `NbLines` tag that contains the number of lines that HPE IDOL Speech Server has deleted.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=DelListLine&Key=TrainingText&Line=T:\Data\testFile.txt&Once=True

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to delete the entry `T:\Data\testFile.txt` wherever it appears in the `TrainingText` list.

To delete a list

- Send the `DelList` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameter:

  `Key` | The list name.

  HPE IDOL Speech Server deletes the list, unless the list is being used by a task. If the list is in use, HPE IDOL Speech Server returns the message`Resource key is busy`.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=DelList&Key=TrainingText

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to delete the `TrainingText` list.

## View Lists

You can view the names of the lists in the list manager, or view the entire contents of an individual list.

To view all lists

- Send the `ShowAllLists` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server.

  HPE IDOL Speech Server returns the names of all lists.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=ShowAllLists

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to display the names of all lists in the list manager.

To view the contents of a list

- Send the `ShowList` action to HPE IDOL Speech Server, and set the following parameter:

  `Key` | The list name.

  HPE IDOL Speech Server returns all entries in the list.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=ShowList&Key=TrainingText

This action uses port `13000` to instruct HPE IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to display all entries in the `TrainingText` list.

## Use Lists in Actions

After you create and populate your lists, you can use them in HPE IDOL Speech Server actions by setting the relevant parameter to `ListManager/Key`, where `Key` is the name of the list.

For example:

    http://localhost:13000/action=AddTask&Type=AudioSecurity&File=C:\data\Sample.wav&Out=SampleSec.ctm&TemplateList=ListManager/alarmTemplates

The `AudioSecurity` task requires a list of alarm templates to identify the alarms that it detects. The `TemplateList` parameter specifies the `alarmTemplates` list in the list manager.
