4.8 Getting started with the palette

The palette is docked to the left of the screen. The palette is used to assemble, organize and deploy
the items (such as conferences, panels, four-wires, idents, monitors and alias labels) that you use
when configuring conferences and Port Viewers. Most configuration tasks are performed on the
canvas, the main working area of Production Maestro Pro (see 4.9 Getting started with the canvas
).

The configuration tasks that you can perform with the palette and canvas vary according to the
selected operational mode.

Tip:

For a quick reference to the main features of the Production Maestro Pro screen, see

3.2.1 Quick reference to the Production Maestro Pro screen.

4.8.1 Scrolling the palette

To scroll the palette using the scroll bar, move your mouse over the light gray bar within the palette
scroll bar [ ].

The inner bar turns from light gray to

. Drag the inner bar up or down to scroll the canvas.

Alternatively, you can:

Click and hold the arrow heads [ ] at either end of the scroll bar to scroll the

palette. The arrow heads turn from light gray to

white

when clicked.

Right click either the light gray bar within the scroll bar, or an arrow head. Select

one of the following options from the dialog:

Note:

Except in Configure Palette mode, the scroll bar is not displayed if there is only a limited number of
items on the palette.

4.8.2 Resizing the palette

To resize the palette:

canvas).

The mouse pointer tool [ ] changes to the double-headed arrow of the grab tool [ ].

2. Drag the screen to the right or left to resize the palette.

Note:

The canvas screen reduces in size when you expand the palette, and increases when you
reduce the size of the palette.
