Important: Deleting a group will delete all views and any subgroups within the group as well.
Assign a shortcut number to a view
In setup mode, you can assign shortcut numbers to views to let users select views using standard
keyboard shortcuts (see "Keyboard shortcuts" on page 39).
1. In setup mode, in the Views pane, select the view you want to assign a shortcut to.
2. In the Shortcut field, specify a shortcut number, and then press ENTER. The shortcut number
appears in parentheses in front of the view's name.
3. Repeat as necessary for other views.
Search for views and cameras
With the search function for views and cameras you can search directly for available views and
cameras. Not only by searching for names, but also by searching for description, type and keywords.
You can find an overview of common keywords if you click next to the search field.
You can see matching results for views and cameras while you type.

If you have a large or complex hierarchy of view groups, the search function does not only ease the
navigation. It also adds the ability to search across the existing structure. How well this goes, depends
on your organization having worked out a well considered and consistent naming convention for views
and cameras.

when you need to get an overview of related views:
