Feature Group

Feature groups are part of the structure and hierarchy in the entire show.

This structure is visible and used in the Feature Group Control Bar in the Encoder Bar.

A Feature Group contains at least one Feature.

The feature is assigned to attributes in the Attribute Definitions. All attributes need to have an assigned feature.

A feature group automatically has a Preset Pool where the attributes in the feature group can store values. Read more about presets in the Presets topics.

The feature group and feature need to be created before it can be used.

The menu has 6 columns:

• Lock:
  This can be used to lock the row from being edited.
• No:
  This is an auto-generated row number for the feature group. The number in parentheses is the number of features inside the group.
• Name:
  This is the name of the feature. This needs to be a unique name.
• Pretty:
  This is a custom label for the feature group. It can have local characters or a different spelling. For instance "Color" could be labeled "Colour".
• Preset Mode:
  This is the default type used when storing values into the preset pool.
• Attrib Count:
  This is information only. This is a counter showing how many attributes use the feature.
• Log Channels:
  This is information only. It shows how often the feature is used in logical channels of fixture types added to the show.
