Organizing the Direct Selects

You have considerable flexibility in how you organize the direct selects. They may be arranged to
display one of several different types of data.
To choose which information to view:
Step 1: Click the {Select} button for any block of direct selects. You will be offered the
following choices to view: Channels, Groups, Intensity Palettes, Focus Palettes,
Color Palettes, Beam Palettes, Presets, Macros, Effects, and Snapshot.
Step 2: Click the button for the data you wish to view and the associated direct selects will
populate with any recorded information of that type. If there is no recorded information
of that type the block of buttons will remain empty but will populate with data of that
type as associated record targets are stored.
Step 3: You may also click {Select} again, without choosing any option, to return to the
previous state.
You can increase/decrease the size of any set of direct selects by pressing the {20/50} button,
which will change the display between one set of 50 buttons and two sets of 20 buttons. Or you may
press the {100} button to expand to a full set of 100 buttons. Press {100} again to switch back to the
previous view.
You may also press the {Expand} button (located beneath the {Select} button) to expand a set of
direct selects to full screen. Press {Expand} again to return the set to its previous size and
mapping. Century and Millennium buttons will display when direct selects are in expand mode.
When the direct selects are opened on a tab, two sets of direct selects will be displayed.
Direct Selects in Flexi Mode
Direct selects can be placed into a flexi mode, which will remove
empty tiles. When {Select} is pressed, the {Show Flexi} button
will display.
.
Note:
A single empty direct select tile may remain if the adjacent direct select tiles are
not sequential. This is to allow an easy way to insert a new direct select between
the existing ones.
