Custom columns in the channel list

Set up columns to detail the mic, the stand or +48V.

They let you add details like the mic, the stand or +48V to each channel, with the names and lists you choose. For example: listing your own microphones.

Setting them up

  1. In the channel list, click the name of a column in the Custom columns box.
  2. Turn on Show column, rename it if you like and add options to its list with New option.

The Custom columns box above the channel list, with the panel of the Mic column open

Load default list brings back the Ridermaker list and Clear list empties it.

Common or for this rider only

In the same box you choose:

  • Common: your riders share them and new riders start with them. If you rename one or turn it on or off, we ask whether it is for all of them or for this rider only.
  • This rider only: this rider’s own columns. What you change doesn’t affect the others, so you can have different columns in each rider.

Using them in the list

In each channel, click the arrow to pick from the list or type whatever you want. If you type something that isn’t in the list, click + to save it there.

How the list is printed

In Rider options, under Channel list style in Rider Link & PDF, you choose List or Table, a more compact grid like this one.

See PDF layouts for the page formats, and Channel list blocks for how many blocks the list has.

Custom columns are a Pro/Premium feature.
