Overview

You can create your own game lists for use with IAGL by choosing your favorite games individually, using the robust search function to create an automatic listing of games matching your criteria, or use the random function to create an automatic listing of random games matching your criteria.

Create a Favorites List

1. Bring up the context menu for the desired game (by pressing C on your keyboard, or right clicking with your mouse)

2. Select "Add to IAGL Favorites"

3. Follow the prompts to either create a new grouping, or add the game to an existing group.

Thats it! Favorited games will show up in the IAGL favorites section available on the addon front page.

Create a Favorites Listing from Search Function

In addition to adding single games to a favorites list. You can generate an automatic listing of games using the IAGL Search Function.

2. Enter the criteria to search for.

You can create lists using the following criteria:

• Game Lists: Select one or more specfic game lists the game will be in

In addition, I can save this search query as a custom listing by selecting Create Search Link at the bottom of the Search Function page. This will generate a list item that I can "Add to IAGL Favorites" containing the search query.
