Buttons/Position/Shift Section

Shift Section


The Shift Section effectively doubles the "real estate" available by adding an additional layer of cells, accessible with the press of a single button. 

Create a Shift Section#


1. Select the Starting Cell.
Click on the cell where you want the shift section to begin.
2. Selecting the desired cells.
Click and drag to select all the cells you want to include in the section.

3. Activate the Shift Section.
Click on the "Shift Section" button. Or "Shift" + S

Now you have created a Shift section
 
TIP: 
You can turn off the Shift button, and use the internal action Set Active Page to navigate between the Main and Shift page to create your own navigation
 

Benefits of a Shift Section#

With the Shift Section in place, you now have a button to toggle between the main and shift layers. This is particularly useful for setups like PTZ camera presets, where:
  • Save Functions can be assigned to the Shift layer.
  • Recall Functions can remain on the Main layer.
Additionally, if you make the section scrollable, you can fit even more buttons within the same cells on the canvas.
