<- om:rc:overview|Overview ^ om:start|Operation Manager ^ om:rc:using_views|Using Views -> ======Creating Remote Control Views====== Click on the {{:om:rc:view-editor_symbol.png|}} symbol in the tool bar to open the view editor. Alternatively, you can reach this window via the ''Administration'' menu. The ''View Editor'' appears. ===== View Layout Configuration ===== You can see the ''Userdefined Views''-Section on the left. Click ''Add'' to create a new view. Click ''Remove'' to remove the currently selected view. If a remote view was edited and is not saved yet, this is indicated by a ''*'' entry in the ''Mod.'' (Modificated) column. The ''Edit View'' section is split in two parts. On the right, there are three tabs: ''Elements'', ''Properties of View'', ''Structure''. ==== Preview Area ==== In the center of the Remote View Editor window, the preview area is located. On the top, click {{:om:rc:zoom_-symbol.jpg|}} to zoom in and click {{:om:rc:zoom--symbol.jpg|}} to zoom out. Under the zoom elements, the preview area is located. You can: * Select elements: click on the element you want to select. The element options will be opened in the [[#properties_of-tab|Properties of-Tab]] on the right * Move elements: drag and drop * Resize elements: drag the button in the bottom right corner area * Assign elements to panels: drag the element to a free position in the inner of a panel ==== General: Working with colors ==== To change a color, go to the ''Properties of''- Tab and click the color field of the desired color. The color window opens. [{{ :om:rc:color_picker.png |//The color window with color picker//}}] To choose a predefined or user defined color, click on the predefined or user defined color field and click ''OK''. To use a user-defined color or define a new user defined color, click ''define colors >>'' / ''Farben Definieren >>''. The color picker opens. Choose a color by clicking or drag & drop the color wheel or enter the color values directly. When you have the right color, click ''Add colors'' / ''Farben Hinzufügen''. The color will be added to the first user-defined color field. When adding a second value, the second field will be used and so on. If you want to change or enter to a specific field directly, click inside the user defined field you want to use, select your color and click ''Add colors'' / ''Farben Hinzufügen''. Possible parameters using colors are described below. ==== Elements tab ==== In the ''Elements'' tab, all available elements are listed. Elements are grouped by the mixers containing it. Click the ''+'' icon besides the mixer node to expand it. Now you see all modules assigned to this virtual mixer and all TFT views on the device. You can expand those nodes to see the single elements. === Adding an element === To add elements, just drag the entry in the "All Elements" list on the right to the View Layout Configuration area. **Note**\\ Elements can not overlap. == Single elements == You can add a single element by dragging and dropping. A single element is not a node in the ''All Elements''- ist. You can drag and drop single elements inside a ''Panel'' element. The elements will then be grouped. When moving the panel, the elements it contains will also be moved. == Modules == You can add whole modules (MX/RX/SX-Modules). Drag and drop the module node (e.g. ''52-2029'') to the View Layout Configuration area. The module elements will automatically be grouped and built like the physical layout. == Console Layout == You can add whole console layouts as built in TB8 Configuration. Drag and drop the mixer node in an **empty** remote view creation area. **Note**\\ Having multiple consoles or a big amount of MX fader- and overbridge-modules can cause automatic layout creation to fail. You will have to sort them manually. **Note**\\ When adding MX fader modules to a frame in TB8 [[tb8:console|console creation]], make sure to start with the first fader on the left and continue left to right. Adding faders in a different order can also mix the fader order at automatic layout creation process. ==== Properties of ... tab ==== The ''Properties of ...'' tab changes depending on the element selected. === Properties of View === You can set general options of the view.
