check this option, the button you are defining will occur, in the same posi-

returns the operator to the previous page. (Back buttons are automatically

placed on list pages and most navigation target pages.)

"Use custom button text. " This checkbox is not present for all button types.

The option allows you to define specific button text for certain buttons

such as the 'Src/Dst' button. By default, the button gets the source name

and destination name as text. The option, when checked, overrides the

default.

Be careful: unchecking this box alters the text you entered.

When you choose a button type, additional drop-down menus can appear, depending on the

button type, allowing you to further specify the button's behavior. Available options and selec-

tions vary from button type to button type.

There are other button definition options that become available when you are defining a cate-

gory button or a global navigation button and you have defined one or more suffix pages or

Back

The 'Back' function places the predecessor of the current button page on the

panel.

The panel software can introduce a "back" button if an automatically generated

list has more entries than can fit on a page.

controlled device, after a broadcast route has been initiated with a "source is

master" control-level take to the first controlled device.

The button is useful in dubbing applications or when a backup (redundant)

device is in use. See
