Cell content & trigger

Modes

A cell can have different modes:

• Normal

• Mute

• Tracking

To change the state, secondary click on the cell to open a menu:

Changing a cell to “Tracking“ will make it use the same values and parameters as the cell above.

Muting a single cell prevents it from updating or triggering when this state is called.

---

Color cells

Double-click the cell to open the color editor.

The output of this cell type is a [Red, Green, Blue, Alpha] color array.

---

File cells

To define a file, select the cell and set the file reference in the inspector.

A file explorer window will open where you can select the file

The data output of this cell type will be a string containing the global file path.

---

Label cells

Double-click the cell and start writing.

The data output of this cell type will be a string containing the given content.

Additional options are available to define the font settings for this cell type.

---

Number cells

Double-click the cell and start typing the value.

The data output of this cell type will be a float representing the given value.

The view type can be changed to the following formats:

• Float

• Integer

• Time

• Timecode

---

Parameter cells

Parameter cells can be linked to any existing parameter within the project to control them.

These parameters can be of various types, such as String, Float, Color, Dropdown, and more.

The linked parameter will be changed to the defined values as soon as the state is executed.

Instead of generating data to be used within the workflow, this directly “drives“ the target parameter.

This means there will be no cell content from this column in the workflow data.

Link the column to a parameter

First, the column needs to know the parameter target, before the cell value can be defined.

1. Click on the column name to access the parameter target field.

2. Click and hold on the [Select an Object] (The mouse cursor will change to a target cross)

3. While still holding down the mouse button, hover over any object to display its settings in the inspector. Keep holding the mouse button.

4. Now hover over a parameter name and release the mouse button to link to this parameter.

You can also release the mouse button while hovering over the object.

This opens a menu showing all parameters of the object.

See below:

Set the value of a linked parameter

The parameter now has the same editing behavior as in the inspector:

• Click and type.

• Click the arrows.

• Click and hold the mouse button – while holding, move the mouse from left to right.

Preset cells

Preset cells can trigger a preset with a defined morph/fade time when the state is executed.

The linked preset will be called as soon as the state is executed.

Instead of generating data to be used within the workflow, this directly calls the preset.

This means there will be no cell content from this column in the workflow data.

1. Click on the cell.

2. Click and hold the [Select an Object] (The mouse cursor will change to a target cross)

3. While still holding the mouse button, hover over a selection preset in your project tree.

4. Release the mouse button to link the preset to this cell.

5. Define the morph/fade time in the inspector.

---

Text cells

The text cell is the same as the label cell.

The only difference is that it supports multiple lines.

---

Workflow cells

Trigger generic events from linked workflows.

The linked generic event will be triggered as soon as the state is executed.

Instead of generating data to be used within the workflow, this directly executes the generic event.

This means there will be no cell content from this column in the workflow data.

1. Select the cell.

2. In the inspector, click on Select Event to open the project menu.

3. Navigate through the project menu and choose the generic event that should be executed.
