Using Subclasses to Aid Navigation

Date printed: 28.0.0
The 'input ports' (sources) and 'output ports' (targets) subcategories show
the list of available physical inputs and outputs of the loaded session confi-
guration. These sources and targets provide all the interfacing of the console
to the outside world. For this reason, these are the most used of the sources
and targets. It would therefore be extremely useful to be able to group certain
physical inputs and similarly physical outputs together within the General
Patch to aid navigation and viewing possibilities. This grouping of the 'input
ports' sources and 'output ports' targets is known as 'subclasses'. For the cre-
ation of these subclasses, please refer to chapter 4.7.1. Subclasses are usually
generated by the facility's system administrator only.
To use the subclasses, ensure that the 'Use Subclasses' check box is selected
in the 'Sort By' window.
When either the 'input ports' or 'output ports' subcategories are showing,
right-click on the Sources/Targets list to show the selection menu.
Note: Subclass Names are saved within User Preference files. If changes are made to
the Subclass Names, a User Preference should be saved (see chapter 4.6.5).
