There are two ways to customize the columns, by enabling column editing in the grid and using gestures or by defining the column arrangements in column sets.

The following windows and sheets in the Add Window pop-up use the column editing to adjust the columns. See gestures for more information.

  • Content Sheet
  • Fixture Sheet
  • Track Sheet
  • Layouts and Layout Editor
  • Timecode Editor and Timecode Viewer

In addition, the following windows and sheets are using Column Sets:

  • Agenda Viewer.
  • RDM Devices Viewer.
  • Sequence Sheet.
  • Track Sheet.

The following video provides a basic overview of the column editing feature using gestures.

To edit specific columns, a column edit mode has to be opened in the corresponding window.

To open column editing:

  1. Open the corresponding window, for example, the fixture sheet via the Add window dialog.
  2. Perform a 2 finger scroll gesture in the header row of the window. A gear icon () appears in the top left corner of the header.
  3. Tap  within three seconds. Three available buttons for column editing are shown.
  4. Tap Enter Column Editing. The contents of the window will be displayed in a light gray color and the columns will now be ready for editing as shown in the image below.

A drag & drop gesture is used, to change the column order.

To change the column order in the corresponding window, for example, the fixture sheet:

  1. Tap and hold a column header with one finger, for example, the Color header.
  2. Drag the column left or right to the desired position. A red vertical line indicates the potential position of the column if releasing the finger.
  3. Release the finger. The column has now moved to the new position. To reset all columns back to the initial position, tap Reset Column Order.
  4. Tap Leave Column Editing. The edit column mode is closed.
