Insert Multiple Items

It is possible to insert multiple items at once using the processes discussed above by holding SHIFT on your keyboard and clicking each item you want to insert individually.

Every router, control device or control gear has default functionality so that, when it is installed, it works immediately with the lighting system. Similarly, when you insert an item into a Workgroup, it has the same default functionality. Designer allows you to insert a single item or several simultaneously (by holding down SHIFT and clicking), with options applied.

Tip:

Insert routers at the Workgroup level and insert control devices and control gear into the subnets (DALI subnet, SDIM subnet or DMX subnet).
