Multiple Operators and "User"

Hello,

I'm a House Electrician, and I have a few different people that operate out ION console.  I've found that the console is very flexible and different operators like it set up in a few different ways.  I am wondering if anyone knows a way to save User defined settings?  Similar to having multiple accounts on a computer where each person has a desktop, I'd like to have the different operators not have to reconfigure each time to run the shows as each individual prefers, and to make it fun... Say 8 different users. Depending on schedules and availability, it could be that many some seasons.

Thanks,

P

    Not sure what settings you wish to save. But you can merge {system settings} to any show file which has some functionality that some users might use differently, but they do tend to be pretty show specific. As mentioned Skatr Snapshots are a way to save screen layouts as well, they too can be merged. I would avoid limiting a programmer from updating or recording specific targets, like snapshots.

    When I a get to a venue to program i spend the first few minutes reviewing the settings to make sure the are set to the way my brain works. ( which it appears is generally 180 degrees out from most!) I also carry a blank show with preferences and custom Macros that i use and merge them to the show i am working on.

    If the programmer doesn't change for the entire event, Maybe have each user save a base file with their preferred settings and merge in patch, pallets, excreta at the start of each event.
