Always ask for Name:
When this is On (yellow text and background), you will get a name pop-up for each selected Layer or Fixture Type
when you create "All" groups.
Create All:
This will create "All" groups for each of the selected Fixture Types or Layers.
Create Single:
This will create single groups for every one of the selected fixtures.
Overwrite:
This will allow for auto create groups to overwrite existing groups. If this is off, and there is a conflict, the console will
present you with a Auto Create Conflict pop-up (read more about this below).
Use:
This button has two modes. When it is
Earliest
the console will use the first free pool button. When it is
Latest
the
console will use the first pool button after the last one used.
Work flow when auto creating groups
So the work flow is that you select the separation order in the left section using the
Choose
button.
All groups
If you want to create "All" groups then you need to select the Fixture Types or Layers.
Then select the first group number. Either by typing the number in the green input box or by the
Use
button.
Now you need to select if you want to name each group manually (activating the
Always ask for Name
button) and
if you want to overwrite existing groups (using the
Overwrite
button).
Last thing is to tap the
Create All
button.
Single groups
If you want to create "Single" groups then you need to select the Fixture Types or Layers and then the one of the
sections in the left side. You can then select the fixture you want in the right side. You can use a lasso function to
select several fixtures or you can hold the
Ctrl
key and select or de-select fixtures in the list.
Then select the first group number. Either by typing the number in the green input box or by the
Use
button.
Now you need to select if you want to name each group manually (activating the
Always ask for Name
button) and
if you want to overwrite existing groups (using the
Overwrite
button).
Last thing is to tap the
Create Single
button.
