Manual Batch operations

Batch operations

Batch operations let you update a property on multiple cues simultaneously. Instead of opening each cue editor individually, select a group of cues and apply the change once.

Selecting multiple cues

Click a cue in the list to select it, then:

  • Ctrl+click (or Cmd+click) to add individual cues to the selection.
  • Shift+click to select a contiguous range from the last selected cue.
  • Ctrl+A to select all cues in the song.

The batch toolbar

When more than one cue is selected, a "Set on selected" toolbar appears above the cue list. This toolbar contains the batch operations available for the current selection.

Available batch operations

  • Color — assigns the same color to all selected cues.
  • Trigger mode — sets Auto, Manual GO, or Follow Previous on all selected cues.
  • Standby time — sets the same standby lead time (in seconds) on all selected cues.
  • Department targets — adds or replaces department assignments on all selected cues. Choose whether to add to existing assignments or replace them entirely.

Click Apply after choosing the setting. A toast notification shows how many cues were updated.

Undoing batch operations

Press Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z) to reverse a batch operation and restore the previous values on all affected cues.

Batch operations are especially useful after importing a cue structure from a template — you can quickly re-assign department targets or standardize trigger modes across dozens of cues in seconds.
