Deleting Groups
When you delete a group, the group number and all contents from the Group List Index and
Direct Selects are deleted. Delete commands require a confirmation by default. This can be
altered in the default settings. If you disable confirmations, the second enter is not required in
the following examples:
Group deletion features include:
[Delete] [Group] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes group 5.
[Delete] [Group] [3] [+] [Group] [5] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes groups 3 and 5.
[Delete] [Group] [3] [Thru] [9] [Enter] [Enter] - deletes groups 3 through 9.
[2] [Delete] [Group] [7] [Enter] - deletes channel 2 from group 7.
Opening the Group List
The group list allows viewing and editing of groups.
To open the group list you can:
Press [Group] [Group]
Press [Tab] [1] [7]
You can navigate within the group list using [Next] and [Last] or by selecting the group you
want to work with.
Ordered View and Numeric View
By default, grouped channels will be displayed in ordered view. Therefore, grouped channels
will appear in the order they were added to the group (see
Ordered Channels (on page258)
).
If you wish to view the channels in numeric view, press the [Format] key and the view will be
switched (channels will appear in numeric order from lowest to highest).
This setting is important in defining [Next]/[Last] functionality within groups in Live / Blind. If
left in numeric format, when using [Next]/[Last] group selection channels will be selected in
chronological order. If left in ordered view, they will be selected based on their order of being
stored to the group.
Editing Groups from the Group List
An existing group can be modified without the need for recording or updating, as follows.
Select the required group by pressing [Group] [n] [Enter], or using [Next] and [Last] to
navigate through the list.
The selected group is highlighted in gold.
The following actions are possible:
[Label] [name] [Enter] - adds or modifies a group label.
[Copy To] [Group] [7] [Enter] - copies the contents of the selected group to group 7.
[2] {Insert Before} [9] [Enter] - inserts channel 2 into the group, placing it before channel
9 in the ordered view.
[2] {Insert After} [5] [Enter] - inserts channel 2 into the group, placing it after channel 5
in the ordered view.
[2] [Delete] [Enter] - removes channel 2 from, the group.
