To get the Executor keyword in the command line press Exec.

You can also type **Executor** or the shortcut **Ex** directly in the command line.

## Description

Executor is an object keyword acting as a control handle for other objects.

The default function for Executor objects is [SelFix](/grandma2/key_keyword_selfix/). This means that calling executors without any function specified selects the fixtures of the executor in programmer.

If you apply a function or reference a property not supported by the Executor object, the command will be passed on its child: Button/fader or the object assigned to the executor.

## Syntax

Executor \[ID]

Executor \[Page].\[ID]

Executor \[Pagepool].\[Page].\[ID]

Assign Executor \[ID] / \[Parameter] = \[Parameter Value]

## Parameter

The following table displays the assignable parameters via command line.
