Classifiers
Classifiers group
The
Cue number is the index position of the Sound Item in the entire Sound List and it changes as the list order changes.
Use of Classifiers is optional and can be ignored if are not interested in maintaining these fields.
A Sound Item can be sorted on
Category . Category is selected with the
Category Selector button. Default categories are: Sound-Cue, Music and Announcement but you can customize your own categories in the
Options -- General dialog.
The
Group Hierarchy provides a way to group Sound Items logically into a 3 level hierarchy for sorting. The Theater Hierarchy theme, "Act", "Scene", "Page", is an obvious example. See the
Options -- General dialog for picking another theme or creating a custom theme. Numeric values (ie. 1,2,3 etc.) work best for sorting, but you can use letters as well (ie A, B, C, etc). Note that roman numerals do not sort well.
When creating new Sound Items, these values will be set from the current default attributes. These values are also included in the reports if requested in the
Options -- Reports dialog. The group hierarchy is left to right (higher to lower).
