User Data Tags

User Data Tags are provided as a way for user's to setup custom labels for User Data as it is displayed in the Property Editor.

When an object is selected from any application view , the Property Editor displays the properties of that selected object. By default, User Data Tags are labeled "User Data 1, User Data 2, etc., for each of the eight User Data fields that are available per object instance. User Data Tags could be considered or used as categories of User Data.

Edit User Data Tags

Each object type (Control Group, Channel, Group, Macro, Override, Preset, Processor, Space, Station, Timed Event, Trigger, Universe, and Wall) can have up to eight labels (User Data Tags) that are customized and used as an easy way to sort and filter User Data into Smart Folders.

Select "Edit User Data Tags" from the "Project" menu.
Click the "Type" drop down box, scroll to select the desired object type.
Click inside "User Data 1" field and enter the new label ID to be used for the selected object type. Repeat this for each custom User Data Tag (User Data 2, User Data 3, etc.) you desire to customize for the selected object type.
Click [OK] to close the dialog.

TIP: In this project example, the default user data tags for the "Channel" object type has been edited to "Type", "Location" and "Owner".
