The selected mode is highlighted in orange.

In Configure Palette mode, the canvas lists all the available items (panels, four-wires, idents, monitors, and key groups) that you can add to the palette.

The items that you drag and drop to the palette can be used in Assignment mode to make assignments to conferences and Port Viewers in real-time (see Assignment Mode).

Eraser tool and Meter tool

The Configure Palette canvas toolbar also includes the Eraser tool and the Meter tool. Both of these tools be dragged and dropped to the palette for use in Assignment mode.

Use the Eraser tool to roll back the changes that are made to conferences and IFBs in Dynam-EC. For more information about the Eraser tool, see Erasing Changes to Conferences and IFBs.

The Meter tool is used for adding a meter to a four-wire on the palette. For more information, see Adding a Meter to a Four-Wire on the Palette.

Adding items to the palette

Drag and drop the items you require (such as panels, four-wires, idents, monitors and key groups) from the canvas to the palette. Organize the items by dragging items anywhere on the palette. The items you add to the palette are those that will be available to you in Assignment mode (see Assignment Mode).

The location of the items on the palette is locked in Assignment mode. To relocate items on the palette, you must return to Configure Palette mode.

You can navigate between different palette configurations using the tabs at the top of the palette screen.

Add a new tab by clicking Add Tab.

Remove the selected tab by selecting Remove.
