After you add all the generic files to your MyList like you would do for regular files, go to your MyList and expand it using the + icon until you see the files. There you check all the generics you want to change the type of, then scroll down and select the type from the drop-down menu (you have to scroll down a little until you see 'change generic state to') and select the type you wish to apply for the generic files.

If you only have generic files added for the anime, then you just need to scroll down to the end of the file list for that anime and check the 'select all' checkbox and set the generic state for them.

==I have a file that spans multiple episodes. What should I do?==
Some anime have regular dual episodes. Let's take {{AniDBLink|anime|aid|56|expand|1816#eid_1816|Prince of Tennis}} as an example:
:''ep 25:'' (eps 25&26) ...
:''ep 26:'' (eps 25&26)
If you have one of the files listed in "ep 25", also add the generic file from ep 26 to your list, with the type set to "filler" (see above). That way, it's possible to mark both ''episodes'' watched.
If some episodes of an anime are partially available in with multiple eps in one file (version A), but also with one ep in one file (version B), the episode-listing should look as follows:
:''ep 1:'' [title of ep 1]
:''ep 2:'' [title of ep 2]
:...<br>
:''ep last:'' [title of last episode]
:-<br>
:''special 1:'' (eps 1-2) [titles]
:''special 2:'' (eps 3-4) [titles]
:...
Then, those who have the regular version (B) can add the files normally to their list; and those who have the multiple-episode-versions (A) should add those (the specials) to their list, and then add the according generic files of the normal episodes (1 to x) to their list, with the type set to "filler".
