Prompt when erasing conference (default: off) |
The Eraser is used to reset conferences to the EHX configuration default, erasing any changes that were made in Dynam-EC. To use this tool in Configure Canvas, add the tool to the palette from the Configure Palette toolbar. When the erase tool is dragged to a conference, a dialog is displayed asking you to confirm its erasure. To leave the conference unchanged, click Cancel. To continue with the erasure, click Erase. For more information about the Eraser, see Erasing Changes to Conferences and IFBs. |
|
Prompt when adding items (other than monitors and idents) to a conference that are already in use in another conference (default: off) |
A dialog is displayed to warn you that items you want to add to a conference (such as panels and four-wires), are already in use by another conference. To cancel the item assignment, click Cancel. To complete the assignment, click Apply anyway. Operational issues may arise if you assign items that are already in use. For example, if a port is present in multiple conferences, all the audio from those conferences will be present on that port. The audio interference this causes can make it difficult to use that port for conference communications. |
|
Only allow items (other than monitors and idents) to be used in one place, prompt when adding (default: off). |
This setting does not permit you to add items, such as ports, panels and meters, to more than one conference. This setting avoids the operational issues caused by such conflicts (see row above). A dialog is displayed to warn you that the item(s) are already in use in another conference. |
|
Eraser leaves monitors, idents and alias names (default: off). |
When you use the Eraser Tool in Configure Palette mode to reset conferences to the EHX configuration default, any monitors, idents and aliases that were added are preserved. All other changes that you made in Dynam-EC are erased. For more information about the Eraser, see Erasing Changes to Conferences and IFBs. |
|
Enable conference member filters (default: off) |
When this setting is enabled, the member filter icon is displayed in the right-hand corner of conferences in Configure Canvas mode. To use the member filter, see Filtering Members in Conferences. Filtering members is part of the conference configuration process. You can only use member filtering in Configure Canvas mode. |

Prompt when adding sources, destinations and returns to an IFB that are already in use in another IFB. |

Only allow sources, destinations and returns to be used in one IFB, prompt when adding. |
