Project Features
The Project Features Tab allows you to select the features that will be available to the current project.
By default features such as the DALI, Scene and Interface Editor Tabs are not visible, but when the relevant elements are added e.g. a DALI Ballast, the tab will become visible.
The same is true for various trigger types and protocols.
Options
Disabled | The feature will not be visible in this project |
Enabled | The feature will always be visible in this project |
Auto | The feature will become visible when an associated element is added to the project |
When a feature is marked as Active, it is available within the project
