Automation Mix Tree Filing
The files that contain actual automation data are Mix/Passes within Mix/Pass Trees. These are saved according
to the current User ID within an organised structure (hierarchy).
The User is determined by who logged on to Encore. If the Administrator user is logged on, the User button can
be used to select the data for any user names in the system. This allows the Administrator to maintain the Encore
filing system.
File Hierarchy
The top level of Mix filing is the User. Each User can have any number of Clients, and each Client can have any
number of Projects. The Project level can be used as the overall level for music albums or films and other
post-production projects. A Project can have any number of Titles (e.g. individual music tracks, or episodes
from a television series) and the Mix/Pass Trees are stored within the Titles.
This is shown in the Filing Organisation diagram. Note that the Clients are under a top level called 'Automation
Data' that is transparent (.e. not shown) in the Filing page. This is done so that it is convenient to make a backup
of all automation data for a particular user.

Creating New Clients, Projects and Titles
This can be done at any time, but usually when starting a new Mix Tree.
Click the Client button. The Client name will be cleared and the text cursor will flash in the Client name box.
Type in the new name as required. The Autofill feature will attempt to match anything typed with existing names.
Carry on typing to ignore the matches made by Autofill, or press DEL to remove the Autofill match.
Click the New button or press TAB. The text cursor will move to the Project box. There will be no Projects listed for
the new Client.
Follow the same process for new Projects and Titles.
When a new Client is created for Keeping a Mix then a new Project and Title must also be created, otherwise the
Default Project and Default Title will be used. These can, however, be renamed later if required.
Locking the Client, Project and Title
The selected Client, Project or Title can be locked so that the current names are set for the current session. This
means that the locked names will be automatically used when loading or creating a Mix Tree. The locked names
are shown in the Client Information area on the main Encore screen.
To lock a Client, Project or Title name click the open padlock symbol next to the required name.
Loading A Mix/Pass Tree
To select a Mix Tree to Load open the filing page and click on the automation tab.
