The resource pool shows what is available on the currently connected server according to the latest refresh and resync (see Express Page Elements).
Resources are dragged out of the pool onto the timeline, where each becomes represented by a bar showing order of play number, media type (icon), resource name, an audio indicator (where applicable) and, to the right, a delete button to remove it.
Items on the timeline can be rearranged by dragging the order. New items are always added to the end, so to insert anywhere else, drag them into the correct position.
Changes of any kind will require the green Upload Timeline button to be clicked for the timeline that has changed. This will send the StackExpress instruction set to the currently selected server’s timeline, in the expressmode.xml show file. If this file is not present it will be created. If it exists it will be updated.
If an Express show is playing the same timeline that is being uploaded, a warning message is given before the upload can be completed, that play will be stopped.
You are now ready to address the properties of any of your resources.
