Goal / when to use

Run the finished system: change room levels, mute zones, watch meters/status, and hand simple control to operators via VIEW.

Prerequisites

Group vs channel — which control?

You want to…Prefer
Change whole room level / muteGROUPS
Trim one speakerCHANNELS
Change program source for a roomGROUPS → INPUT
Give a receptionist a simple panelVIEW (operator link)

Remember: group and channel values add. CHANNELS shows the output result.

Typical operator moves

Set room volume

  1. Open GROUPS.
  2. Set VOLUME (or use a VIEW volume widget).
  3. Confirm meters move on member channels.

Mute a room

  1. GROUPS → MUTE on, or VIEW mute control.
  2. Confirm CHANNELS / SIG-PATH reflect mute.

Check health

  1. HOME — project / device / linked-channel status cards.
  2. DEVICES — STATUS, CONNECT, SYNC.
  3. CHANNELS — LEVEL and STATUS columns.
  4. LOG — export or filter if something failed.
  5. Floating OUT OF SYNC — resolve before a show (Troubleshoot).

Operator VIEW pages

  1. Open VIEW (view manager).
  2. Create a page with + VIEW.
  3. Add objects: group volume/mute, channels, level meters, images, links to other views.
  4. SAVE VIEW.
  5. Copy the operator Link (fullscreen page without editor chrome).
  6. Open that URL on a tablet or control PC.

Details: GUI · VIEW and VIEW API.

Expected result

Operators adjust the intended rooms without accessing CHANNELS / DEVICES commissioning screens.

Snapshots (groups)

Where available, group SNAPSHOTS store and recall sets of group-related settings for scene changes. Use them for rehearsed level/EQ scenes — not as a substitute for project export.

Expected result

Day-to-day control happens mostly from GROUPS and VIEW; CHANNELS is for trim and diagnosis; OUT OF SYNC stays clear.
