## 6.4. Editing a Log

### 6.4.1. Drag and Drop

If the System Administrator has enabled Drag and Drop operation, any event can be copied by clicking and holding the right mouse button and then dragging it to the desired location of the copy. An event can also be deleted from a log by dragging the trash can icon and dropping it onto the event to be deleted.

### 6.4.2. The Editing Buttons

It is possible to edit the log loaded into any of the three log machines by means of the log edit buttons in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.

#### 6.4.2.1. Adding an Event

To add an event, touch the `ADD` button to open the Select Cart dialog, pick the desired cart and then touch `OK`. To place the selected cart using the button log widget, simply touch one of the yellow `WHERE?` buttons. To place it using the full log widget, click the event where you wish it to go and then touch the yellow `WHERE?` button. If, after selecting a cart from the Select Cart dialog, you decide you don't want to add it after all, simply touch the `ADD` button again to cancel the operation.

RDAirPlay Prompting for a Location

Alternatively, if the System Administrator has enabled Drag and Drop functionality, carts can be dragged directly from an instance of RDLibrary and dropped into the desired location on RDAirPlay.

#### 6.4.2.2. Deleting an Event

To delete an event, touch the `DEL` button, then touch one of the violet `DELETE` buttons in the button log widget, or select an event and then touch the violet `DELETE` button. To cancel the operation, simply touch the `DEL` button again.

If the System Administrator has enabled Drag and Drop functionality, carts can also be deleted by dragging the icon of the trash can and dropping it onto the appropriate event.

#### 6.4.2.3. Moving an Event

To move an event, touch the `MOVE` button, then touch one of the violet `MOVE` buttons in the button log widget, or select an event and then touch the violet `MOVE` button, then touch one of the yellow `TO` buttons in the button log widget, or select an event and then touch the yellow `TO` button. To cancel the operation at any stage, simply touch the `MOVE` button again. It is perfectly permissible to move an event between two different log machines.

#### 6.4.2.4. Copying an Event

To copy an event, touch the `COPY` button, then touch one of the violet `COPY` buttons in the button log widget, or select an event and then touch the violet `COPY` button, then touch one of the yellow `TO` buttons in the button log widget, or select an event and then touch the yellow `TO` button. To cancel the operation at any stage, simply touch the `COPY` button again. It is perfectly permissible to copy an event between two different log machines.

RDAirPlay Prompting for a Cart to Copy

If the System Administrator has enabled Drag and Drop functionality, carts can also be copied by simply dragging them from where they are to the new location where they are wanted.

### 6.4.3. The SoundPanel

The SoundPanel is an array of buttons that appears in the right-hand side of RDAirPlay when the `Sound Panel` button is selected. Each button can be associated with a particular cart in the Library (either Audio or Macro carts), which is then played each time the button is clicked. The soundpanel is particularly useful in live assist situations where it is desired to drop in some piece of audio on a live, improvised basis.

### 6.4.4. Panel Types

The SoundPanel has multiple panels or “panes” that can scrolled through by touching the double-left or double-right arrow buttons. Each panel has a designator, (displayed just to the right of the arrow keys), consisting of the letter `U` or `S` followed by a number. An `S` indicates that the panel is a 'system' panel, meaning that its button assignments will show up only on this particular host system; while a `U` indicates a 'user' panel, one which is associated with a particular user and that will "follow around" that user whereever he logs in in the site. (Depending upon how the system administrator has configured RDAirPlay, you may not have both of these panel types available to you).

### 6.4.5. Programming a SoundPanel Button

To associate a cart with a panel button, first touch the `Setup` button, which will begin to flash. (Depending upon how the system administrator has configured RDAirPlay, the `Setup` button may be disabled). Next, touch the button you wish to program, opening the Edit Button dialog.

The Edit Button Dialog

Touch the `Set Cart` button to open the Select Cart dialog and pick a cart. To clear the button –i.e. have no cart associated with it – touch the `Clear` button. To assign a custom background color to the button, touch the `Set Color` button. A custom label can be entered in the `Label` field, or the name of the cart will be used by default. Touch the `OK` button when done. When done programming all the desired buttons, touch the `Setup` button again to toggle off `Setup` mode.

If the System Administrator has enabled Drag and Drop functionality, buttons can also be programmed by simply dragging and dropping a cart (from RDLibrary or from elsewhere in RDAirPlay) onto the desired button.
