PullsheetsThese Reports are created with printing in mind, to easily share the information in your Project with team members

Position Sheet
A list of every fixure in your project, broken up by Position, with Position Color Code, DMX Info, Circuiting Info, and Fixture Connector info
Used as a cheatsheet for Power and Data
Position Build Sheet
Similar to the Position Sheet, this a much bigger report used as a cheat sheet for building positions.
It shows a fixture list sorted by DMX info, a fixture list sorted by Circuit info, and totals for Equipment in that position.
Meant as a report to hand off to a team, to pull, package, and build a position.
Fixture Patch
A list of every fixture with DMX Information (unpatched fixtures are excluded)
By default the patch is sorted into Universe blocks, a view preferred by some techs, however clicking the option to "Sort by Fixture Numbners instead of Universe" converts the report into a more Board Op or LD friendly version.
Fixture Circuiting
A Rack and Circuit report, with all Power Distribution racks, Cables, and Fixtures.
This report is meant for a dimmer tech, showing which racks get which cables, and which breakers have which Fixtures, along with Cable and Rack amperage totals
Fixture Sheet
This report shows every available detail about ever fixture added to your project.
You have the option to customize the sort by two layers, and a option to "Hide Details", which only shows Fixture Number, Patch, Circuit, Type, Mode, and Position
Cable Sheet
The contents of the Cable Worksheet
Labels
Various premade labels are included with the reports. These labels are separate from the LabelMaker, are not customizable, but do have several options
Fixture Label
A label for each Fixture in your project, with Fixture Number, Position, Patch and Circuiting, and Fixture Type and Mode
Hang Label
Similar to Fixture Labels, but replaces Fixture Mode with X/Y/Z information. Generally placed on the truss or batten to indicate hanging position. Using a long tape measure and the printed X/Y/X coordinates makes is quick and simple to drop each label at the correct measurement
Cable Label
Labels based on the Cable Worksheet. Items with length will get two labels (assuming a label per side of a cable), and items without length will get one label (assuming a fanout)
Whip Label
A small label meant to go on the end of a fixture whip. Calls out Fixture Number, Circuit Name, and Circuit Number
Breakout Label
A small label meant to go on the circuit ends of a MultiCable fanout or breakout. It lists every fixture nuymber on the circuit, the circuit name, and the circuit number
Universe Label
A set of small labels, one for each universe active in you patch. Meant to go where needed: on the end of data home runs, Multi Data Cable fanouts, Ethernet Nodes, etc.

Hiding labels
You can hide labels you don't wish to print by clicking on them. A red outline appears, indicating that the label will not be printed
Clicking the label again will remove the red outline and mark the label for printing
Use the "Hide all Labels when Printing" link to hide every label, then unHide specific labels, to quickly print only a few labels
Sort (Fixture Labels Only)
You can choose to sort purely by Fixture Number, from lowest to highest (or in alphabetical order), or to group by position first, then sort by Fixture Number
Select Specific Fixtures (Fixture Labels Only)
Enter fixture numbers here to print those specific fixture numbers.
Use the standard format: Single fixture numbers (101), ranges of fixtures (101 thru 111), or combinations separated by commas (101, 201, 301 thru 311).
Press the enter key after entering your fixture numbers to apply the filter, and clear the text box and press enter to see all labels again.
Fixture Type and Mode Aliases (Fixture Labels Only)
You can add Medium and Short aliases to your Fixture Types using your Inventory Screen. Here you can choose to use them
If you choose to use an alias here, but your Fixture Type doesn't have an alias, the regular name is used instead.
Use this to change longer names into simpler names that actually fit.
