4 Managing Show Files 57
Selective Partial Show Opening
If you select the {Advanced} button in the partial show opening screen, you will have the
opportunity to load partial components from the show file and be able to specify the desired location
of those partial components in the new show file.
For example, you could specify only cues 5-10 from cue list 2 and load them as cues 20-25 in cue
list 7 in the new show. You could also specify only specific palettes, presets, effects, and so on. To
see the complete list of show components, press the {Advanced} key in the partial show loading
screen.
As you specify components, they are added to a table in the CIA. In the table, fields with a dark
background may be edited, fields with a light gray background do not apply to that component. For
each component in the list, you can specify the desired range by pressing the proper area in the
table and entering numbers from the keypad. The columns in the table are:
• List - The list you are taking data from (such as a cue list).
• List Target - The list you are adding the data to.
• Start - The first in a range of components (such as a range of cues).
• End - The last in a range of components.
• Target - The desired location of the components in the new show file (for ranges, this
will be the location in the new show of the first component in the range, the others will
follow in order).
To open only partial components from a show file:
Step 1: From the browser, navigate to the desired show file (see Open the desired location:,
page 55).
Step 2: When the partial show load screen appears, press the {Advanced} button. The
partial components selection screen will appear in the CIA.
Step 3: Select the show components that you wish to load by pressing on their respective
buttons on the left side of the CIA. The components will appear in the list to the right
as you select them.
Step 4: Press any fields for which you want to enter specific numbers. The field (if editable)
will highlight in gold.
Step 5: Enter the numbers using the keypad to specify the desired cues/groups/effects and so
on.
Step 6: Press {OK} to load the components to the new show.
CAUTION:
On a partial show open, if any record targets are not opened, any existing data of
that type will be cleared from the console.To merge show data, merge should be
used. See “Merging Show Files” on page 58.
