Shortcuts
Shortcuts are name substitutions. Defining Shortcuts makes deployment of multiple FrontRow devices of the same type
easier. Use Shortcuts in defining actions that represent the IP addresses of the devices you’ll control. This means that your
configuration file can be written as a template with IP addresses explicitly defined in only one place (the Shortcut), needing to
be changed only once rather than repeatedly throughout your Actions. This saves a tremendous amount of labor as you re-use
the configuration file to control new devices from room to room.
9. Action Creator
Actions are specific instructions that are sent to specific devices (e.g. to turn a projector on or change inputs on a projector).
Once defined, you will link them to various Events which can be triggered in a variety of ways.
