Ah, yes, you won't be able to find that because it got left out of the PICED version of the help file

This is a feature of the Scene Matrix Manager which is available in PICED and Schedule Plus. An extract from missing page from the help file is below :

Scene Matrix Manager

The Scene Matrix Manager provides an overview of all Scenes and the ability to edit several Scenes at once.

To open the Scene Matrix Manager, click on the Matrix View button on the Scene Manager.

The Scene Matrix Manager shows only the Group Addresses which are used in one or more Scenes.

Alongside each Group Address the level of that Group Address in each Scene is shown. If a Group Address is not used in a particular Scene, the cell will be blank.

The columns can be sorted by clicking on top of the column or they can be rearranged and have their widths changed by dragging them.


Scene Management

Scenes can be managed in a similar way to the Scene Manager :
To add a Scene, click on the Add Scene button or right click on one of the cells and select the Add item

Darren
In the scene matrix can we have an option to but in all groups even if they are not used in a scene for 2 reasons,
1 Lets me check that i have left a group out of scenes
2 I want to give the user a sheet that has all groups and scene names and get then to fill in which groups they want in each scene. Then i will import to piced.
